Summary
A delisted Xbox Podcast video briefly showed a Gears of War: E-Day trailer ending with a PS5 logo, exposing that Microsoft had prepared PlayStation branding before its showcase.
Aaron Greenberg said the PS5 reveal was not scrapped at the last minute, arguing only a very small internal group knew and Xbox had planned to announce the news first to players during the event.
The leak followed other signs of a PS5 release: PEGI had rated the game for Sony's system, retailer databases carried physical listings, and Jeff Grubb had reported an almost complete port existed.
The episode adds to confusion over Xbox exclusivity after Matt Booty offered little clarity in a post-show interview and strategy chief Matthew Ball declined to comment earlier in the day.
