Gears of War Ultimate Edition will be coming in early 2016

 

The PC version of Gears of War Ultimate edition will be launching on Windows 10 PC in 2016, which while vague does confirm that the game is still coming to PC. 

Phil Spencer in a recent tweet also confirmed that same thing applied to Killer Instinct will also be coming to PC in a similar timeframe, bringing the Free-To-Play fighter Reboot to the PC platform. 

 

  

Being one of the first DirectX 12 games and one of the first Xbox One titles getting ported to PC in DirectX12, so Microsoft will need to work hard here to build up their reputation for both their Published games and for their DirectX 12 API, as if this game doesn’t perform well there will be a lot of negative hype for DX12. 

With no known release date or any other information being currently available the public will never know if the game is delayed or has any issues during the games development. It is likely that The Coalition, the games developers, are only planning to release further information on the PC version of the game closer to release, as they wish to avoid any of the issues which are associated with an over-hyped, over scrutinized game launch. 

Right now all that we know about the PC version of the game will include an Unlocked framerate, support DX12 Asynchronous compute, contain a built in benchmark and also sport the following features; 

 

• – Remastered for Dolby 7.1 Surround
• – New Xbox Live achievements (1,250 Gamerscore)
