The Gears of War: E-Day open beta launches August 6 for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers, bringing a new Horde Siege PvE mode to the service. The first half of August also adds over a dozen titles including Beast of Reincarnation, Date Everything!, Cricket 26, and Sandustry, while four games depart on August 15.

Pirates are already sharing performance impressions from early copies on Discord and Reddit, while the developer and publisher Fictions have not yet commented on the breach.
