Sources tell The Verge that Gears of War: E-Day has sold over 400,000 copies across console and PC, and Game Pass is likely to blame. (IGN scored the game a 9 out of 10, saying its “stellar story campaign is complemented by an excellent multiplayer suite.”) However, it seems the title’s popularity isn’t translating to sales — at least, that’s according to a new figure reported by The Verge. Elliott figured that of those 1.7 million players, likely 722,000 paid for the Premium upgrade, with the game prompting an additional 250,000 Premium upgrades between October 1 and the game’s full release on October 6. As told by Elliott at the time of his post, “E-Day sold 62,000 copies on Xbox against 722,000 Premium upgrades, so for every one copy sold on Xbox, nearly 12 Game Pass upgrades were sold.” He surmised that Xbox accounted for nearly three-quarters of the game’s total revenue, but said that despite these seemingly low numbers, nearly 950K likely paid for the game in some way — just not by outright purchasing an actual copy.
