# Microsoft confirms its new titles are not "timed exclusives" and Gears of War: E-Day will never come to PS5

**[XDA Developers](https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers)** · 3 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Microsoft has officially confirmed that Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are permanent Xbox console exclusives and will never come to PS5 or other platforms. This marks a reversal of Microsoft's recent cross-platform strategy, which had seen its titles appear on PlayStation. The company clarified these are not timed exclusives, though games already announced for multiplatform release will still follow through on those plans. Sony is similarly pulling back toward PlayStation-only titles, signaling a broader industry return to platform exclusivity wars.
