After a rather long wait, Gears of War 4 is going to be released in a little over two months. If you're thinking about getting the Xbox One digital version of the shooter game currently in development by The Coalition, you will be happy to know that Gears of War 4 might become available for pre-load almost a month before its release.

Last week, some interesting new details regarding the Gears of War 4 PC version have emerged online. According to The Coalition technical director Mike Rayner, Gears of War 4 on PC will include support for proper unlocked gframe rate at launch, dynamic resolution support and much more.

-Increased texture resolution (up to 4K resolution for select texture groups).
-A benchmark mode.
-Full keyboard/mouse input remapping (including cover/run and roll split).
-Far more comprehensive video settings.

A Gears of War 4 trailer has been made available recently, showcasing sequences taken from the game's main campaign.
