Gears of War: Ultimate Edition appears on the Windows 10 Store

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition has appeared on the Windows 10 Store, continuing Microsoft's Xbox push onto PC.

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition remasters the smash hit Xbox 360 third person shooter, which initially launched back in 2006. Microsoft released the Ultimate Edition on Xbox One last summer, after confirming at last year's PC Gaming Show that it would eventually arrive on Windows too. The game is currently unavailable for purchase, but the listing likely indicates that it'll go live very soon.

Great news for pc gamers, the original gears on pc was great. This remaster edition is the truth.

This is fantastic. Ill definitely pick this up once it's available.

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition "recommended systems requirements" + windows 10 + case + power supply. How much does it all cost?

Razputin3410d ago

I don't know why we have to wait so long for it though. It was announced last year June that it would be coming to PC.

But damn has this been a long wait.

ScorpiusX3410d ago

Making sure the W10 store is ready for cross it , crossplay or whatever else make the store the place to buy its games from .

LackTrue4K3410d ago

Hell ya! Getting this asap!

ocelot073410d ago

Ill buy if it's cheap enough.

sullynathan3410d ago

I'll download it and see if it can run on my computer since I am currently in the middle of the original.

traumadisaster3410d ago

I still have the original pc gears and it does 4k60fps easy, I wonder how much difference there really is?

SUCKxITxEZ3410d ago (Edited 3410d ago )

It's An actual remake, so the art is completely new. New textures, higher poly count models, and engine improvements like lighting and such.

Does the old pc version require a GFWL sign in? Or did u just crack it?

So hyped. GoW 1 is amazing.

Most PC gamers right now do not have HDR monitors. "as long as you have a compatible HDR monitor" I'm using a 240hz Alienware 1080p GSYNC panel, (AW2518H) while I love it and love the high FPS in games, I'm not buying a new lcd just yet. So for now I just use reshade in all the games I play and enable "fake HDR" 😁 It's pretty good to, not real HDR but close enough for me. 👍

darthv721560d ago

If someone doesnt have an HDR PC monitor, can't they use a HDR supported tv? Most PC cards support HDMI out so I would think that could be one option. It might not have the uber high refresh but I'm sure it could work.

XxINFERNUSxX1560d ago (Edited 1560d ago )

Yeah the HDR TV will work over HDMI. I'm using displayport myself but if your just using that connection you can just use a displayport to hdmi adapter since displayport carries audio just like HDMI.

"Most PC gamers right now do not have HDR monitors."

Your point? Nothing wrong with Microsoft impementing this. Once you do get a HDR monitor in the future I'm sure you'll be moaning if Microsoft didn't have any support for it on Windows. They're not going to postpone it because XxINFERNUSxX doesn't have the right monitor yet.

CaptainHenry9161560d ago (Edited 1560d ago )

This is great news. I'm about to invest in a new HDMI 2.1 and Display port 2.0 monitor this year I'm looking at you Asus PG32UQ . Perfect timing 👌

This is such a cool feature honestly.

Fluke_Skywalker1560d ago

This is good news I hate having to enable HDR manually everytime I play an HDR enabled game. Some games already turn it on automatically but they are very few and far between (Destiny 2 is actually the only one I know of 😅).

Steam vs DS4Windows – Which is best for DualSense On the PC

Now that I've had some time to play with the PS5 DualSense on PC with Steam and DS4Windows, it's time to decide which is best for PC gaming.

My issue is that on steam you can modify on a game by game bases as some nave native support and DS4Windows you'd have to turn on and off and the issue with what I'm saying. If it has native support and you use the Steam API or DS4W it'll give you Xbox control prompts so it's more convenient to just run the steam API. Generally games outside of steam make sure to have support unless old. I have both and will only use DS4W if I absolutely have to. It's good but the game by game bases on steam is so much more ideal. Example Games with DS4 native support will allow trackpad support like Ni no Kuni using the track pad. But with DS or Steam activated it puts the trackpad to the share button. So the manual ability to disable it anytime that game starts makes it where that game operates correctly every time

I just use my 360 controller for 3rd person games, like GTA. All FPS games keyboard/mouse. No need for me to spend 70$ on a controller. Plus I like it to just work without any drivers just plug & play like the 360 controller.
