The Xbox Podcast deep dive on E-Day was published on Monday and briefly featured a version of the latest trailer that incorrectly stated that the game was coming to Sony’s console.

The PS5 logo slip-up in the Xbox podcast seems to support claims that the decision to make Gears an Xbox-only game was made at the last minute by its leadership team.

I wonder if you could make a case for false advertising here.

People are allowed to reasonably make mistakes. This doesn’t reach the threshold for malice

I don’t see how. Lot’s of games get announced and later cancelled and that’s never seen as false advertisement. Even if the game releases, and there’s only a PC/XBox version, you wouldn’t buy that and then sue Microsoft because you can’t play it on PS5 and if you don’t buy it you don’t have a case.

It’s the same as when Sony announced Demon’s Souls with a “also on PC” trailer.
