Xbox Just Pulled an Uno Reverse Card on PlayStation

As usual, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase was packed with interesting video games, Xbox Game Pass announcements, and a cool see-through Xbox console/controller that feels very early 2000s. Yet as fun as these reveals were, the biggest thing coming out of the event was confirmation that Xbox console exclusives were coming back. Corroborating a rumor from industry insider Jeff Grubb, and proving a recent Walmart listing to be outdated, this announcement directly addresses one of the Xbox community’s greatest desires. And one of the two confirmed console exclusives — Gears of War: E-day — is particularly interesting given a recent PlayStation release.
