   Gears of War: E-Day sales: analysts unpack Game Pass impact

   Gears of War: E-Day launched this week, and a report from Alinea Analytics' Rhys Elliott says it has sold about 230,000 copies so far, with 168,000 on Steam and 62,000 across Xbox console and PC.

   Analyst Estimates Gears of War: E-Day Sold 230,000 Copies as Game Pass Players Reach 1.7 Million

   Data firm Alinea Analytics estimates Gears of War: E-Day has sold about 230,000 copies, with 168,000 on Steam and 62,000 across Xbox console and PC, while 1.7 million players accessed it through Game Pass. Alinea's Rhys Elliott argues Game Pass is cannibalizing premium revenue, noting 722,000 players paid $30 for the Premium Edition upgrade to play five days early and estimating roughly $37 million in revenue, $26 million of it from Xbox. The estimates have not been corroborated by Microsoft, and Elliott concludes Microsoft may have to pull day-one first-party releases from the service, as it announced for Call of Duty earlier this year.

   Gears of War: E-Day Uses Advanced Shader Delivery to Cut PC Shader Compilation Waits

   Early access for Gears of War: E-Day has begun for Premium Edition buyers, and the PC version supports Advanced Shader Delivery (ASD), which pre-translates and delivers shader files ahead of time to cut first-boot compilation waits to seconds. The author measured about 20 seconds of shader compilation on an Asus Xbox ROG Ally X, compared with waits of up to 15 minutes in other new games. ASD works across AMD, Intel, Nvidia and Qualcomm hardware, is currently available for AMD graphics card users, and Nvidia-compatible drivers will arrive shortly after launch; E-Day is the first game to support ASD across Windows devices.

   Analyst Argues Gears of War: E-Day Shouldn't Have Been Cancelled on PS5 After 'Soft' Steam Pre-Orders

   Alinea Analytics' Rhys Elliot has argued that Gears of War: E-Day shouldn't have been cancelled on PS5, citing "soft" Steam pre-orders. He said the game has amassed just 120k pre-orders on Steam, low for a big-budget AAA production, and noted the port was reportedly already in the works. He also stressed the game's online multiplayer focus requires a large crossplay audience.

   Majority of Gears of War: E-Day Revenue on Xbox Will Be Cannibalized by Game Pass, Analyst Says

   Analyst Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics said most of Gears of War: E-Day's Xbox revenue will be eaten up by Game Pass. The game has sold over 120,000 copies on Steam for more than $7 million, ahead of its October 6 launch, with paid early access starting October 1. Elliott also said E-Day has already sold more than 2X what Halo: Campaign Evolved did in a similar period, though it is unlikely to ever reach 1 million copies on Steam.
