Gears of War: E-Day launches for everyone on October 6 at 3pm UTC on Xbox Series X|S and PC, and lands day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass after five days of paid early access. Technical director Kate Rayner told Digital Foundry that The Coalition streams around 2GB of non-urgent data through the Series S SSD to free roughly 1GB of system memory. Series S holds 60fps with only Lumen reflections turned off. The install is about 120GB.
