## Caption

Xbox hooked us up with early access to the Gears of War E Day multiplayer beta, and we had an absolute blast with it. 💥🕹️

Classic Gears fans will love that weighty feel, complete with wall bouncing in versus mode, though vaulting over cover has moved to Y and the Roadie run feels like a modern tactical sprint. Horde mode was trimmed down to a tight four-wave appetizer with an extraction finale, which feels awesome on these massive, wide-open maps.  

Gears of War: E-Day releases on October 6, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S and PC. Head to PCMag for our full first impressions. ⚙️🎮
