Gears of War: E-Day has sold only 120,000 copies on Steam

The first pre-order figures for Gears of War: E-Day are finally here. The action game from The Coalition launches on October 6 on XBOX Series and PC, and will even be available as early as October 1 with its Premium Edition.

Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics has revealed that the title sold 120,000 units on Steam through pre-orders. This equates to $7 million in revenue. In fact, fewer than 20,000 copies have been sold over the past six weeks.

On Steam, Gears of War: E-Day is still performing twice as well as Halo: Campaign Evolved over a similar period, but significantly worse than Wardogs, which sold 567,000 copies in pre-orders.
