Microsoft’s first-party studio, The Coalition, will talk about Gears 5 on Xbox Series X later this week.
During an Inside Unreal livestream this Thursday at 2:00PM E.T., the Gears developer will be covering both Gears Tactics on PC, and Gears 5 on Microsoft’s upcoming next-gen console.
On the Series X, Gears 5 will feature framerates well over 100fps, improved visuals and extremely fast loading times. The optimized version of Gears 5 is said to be using the full PC Ultra settings with "higher resolution textures and higher resolution volumetric fog, as well as a 50% higher particle count than the PC Ultra Specs allowed."
Aside from higher resolution textures, volumetric fog and particle counts, Gears 5 on the Xbox Series X will also pack previously disabled features such as contact shadows and self-shadow lighting on plants and grass.
We've included a description of the upcoming Inside Unreal livestream down below:
