Competitive player-versus-player matches are included: Gears of War: E-Day is planned to launch with four Versus modes, each using four players per team. If you want competition against other players, choose between Ranked and Social; practice options are also listed for learning the Versus combat flow.
Which PvP modes are included?
The official multiplayer announcement names four core Versus modes for launch. All use a four-player team against another four-player team; the objectives differ by mode.
| Mode | Main objective |
|---|---|
| Team Deathmatch | Fight the opposing team; spawn locations adjust as the battle shifts. |
| Conquest | Control zones. A zone stays active until a team has earned enough time to score. |
| Demolition | Plant a bomb at the opposing team's site. |
| Crucible | Carry a Power Core into a scoring zone that moves and shrinks. |
These descriptions are the announced mode objectives. The materials do not specify a full ruleset, match length, team size beyond four per side, or matchmaking details for each mode.

- Social: Includes Quickplay and bot matches. Choose this option for a social playlist or matches against bots.
The official announcement also names Boot Camp and Combat Training as practice options. They are the announced next places to look if you want to practice before entering a Versus playlist; detailed lesson content and unlock requirements are not specified in the available information.
