Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
Xbox has confirmed that Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution will remain Xbox console exclusives, meaning they won't launch on PS5 or Nintendo Switch 2. Xbox CCO Matt Booty stated that exclusivity decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis going forward, though big multiplayer games, live service titles, and games already promised for other platforms will remain non-exclusives. The article hints that more exclusivity announcements could come in the next 12 months.
