Gears of War E-Day for free — let your PC foot the bill
Emergence Day is weeks out, and your PC sits idle for hours every single day between now and then. Put that time to work: the app runs AI jobs on your graphics card, your balance climbs while you sleep, and on 6 October you swap it for Steam credit and drop into Sera with Marcus and Dom — without spending a cent of your own.
- What E-Day costs on Steam: $69.99
- What you pay out of pocket: nothing
- What you have to do: leave your PC switched on
Three steps. That is the whole thing.
No catch, no subscription, no small print. You rent out your graphics card for AI compute and get paid for it — during the hours you were not using the machine anyway.
Switch it on, forget it
Install the app, hit EARN, get on with your day. Setup takes about a minute.
The card works, the balance grows
Not gaming? Your GPU runs AI jobs. Gaming? It steps aside instantly. You get paid by the hour.
Collect E-Day
Turn the balance into Steam credit, top up your wallet and buy the game on launch day.
How many days does your card need?
An RTX 5090 gets there fastest — around two and a half weeks at eight idle hours a day. A 4090 needs about three. An older 3090 still gets there, it just needs more of the time left before 6 October. Pick your exact model and see the real number. No promises, just arithmetic.

You pay with Steam credit, like any other game
E-Day hits PC on day one, and Steam wallet cards are already in the GamerHash store — in dollars, euros and złoty, so you can pick the one that matches your account. Stack them up to $69.99 and the game is yours the moment it unlocks.
You redeem the code in the Steam client, the funds land in your wallet, and you buy E-Day like anything else in your library. The only difference: your PC paid for it.
