<\/div>\n

We\u2019re excited to share how Gears of War 4<\/em> has been enhanced for the Xbox One X. Our new trailer showcases the wealth of graphical and gameplay enhancements that are only possible with the world\u2019s most powerful console.\u00a0 We\u2019re also excited to finally reveal the Preferred Rendering mode so you can play Gears of War 4<\/em> how you want!<\/p>\n

True 4K Experience<\/strong>
Get ready to experience unmatched clarity, richness and details with true 4K visuals (3840\u00d72160) in our Visuals Rendering Mode. Even if you\u2019re playing on a 1080p screen, you\u2019ll instantly notice the difference thanks to a 4K super sampled image that brings you a crisper, richer looking Gears game than you\u2019ve ever seen before.<\/p>\n

HDR<\/strong>
High Dynamic Range provides increased contrast between lights and darks. Battling your way through a lightning flurry in a windflare has never looked better. Gears of War 4<\/em> on Xbox One X supports a wide color gamut for true-to-color definition \u2013 just as the artists intended \u2013 and now at 4K resolution.<\/p>\n

Up to 60FPS For Ultra Smooth Gameplay<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to announce Xbox One X owners will have two Preferred Rendering Options to choose from in Gears of War 4<\/em> \u2013 Visuals and Performance!<\/p>\n

Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Put framerate first. For the first time ever, Gears of War<\/em> will play at up to 60fps in 1080p in Campaign and Horde \u2013 all including higher resolution textures and some of the new enhanced graphical features available in Visuals mode.<\/p>\n

Visuals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Push graphical fidelity to the max. This mode uses Ultra Quality Textures, a wealth of new and improved graphical features all at 4K resolution (3840\u00d72160) thanks to the power of Xbox One X. You\u2019ll experience the same frame rates you\u2019ve come to expect from Gears of War 4<\/em> \u2013 30fps for Campaign and Horde .<\/p>\n

In both Rendering modes, Versus will run at a rock-solid 4K 60FPS (with adaptive resolution scaling).<\/p>\n

Dolby Atmos Audio Support<\/strong><\/p>\n

When playing\u00a0Gears of War 4<\/em>\u00a0on Xbox One, we now offer Dolby Atmos, which gives you immersive, moving audio.<\/p>\n

The Dolby Access app lets you set up your Dolby Atmos enabled home theater, TV, or sound bar for free, and lets you try or buy Dolby Atmos for Headphones, which gives you immersive sound on any headphones. Experience the visceral sounds of Gears of War<\/em>\u00a0in a way that will make you feel like you\u2019re inside the action, only on Xbox One.<\/p>\n

Our Most Immersive World Thanks To New Features<\/strong><\/p>\n

The world of Sera has never been more immersive thanks to brand new features and higher resolution textures \u2013 all possible with the additional horsepower and memory offered by the Xbox One X.<\/p>\n

Enhanced Light Shafts
<\/strong>Also known as God Rays, Enhanced Light Shafts provide true-to-life beams of sunlight in the world. Prepare for jaw dropping lighting as the God Rays peek through gaps in the canopy of trees above you, or in sunset conditions peeking through buildings and statues.<\/p>\n

Dynamic Shadows<\/strong>
Shadows in Gears of War 4<\/em> are usually pre-defined by an artist to accurately reflect the shadows objects in the world would cast based on the lighting. On Xbox One X, dynamic shadows now react true to the lighting conditions and movement of objects \u2013 for example, trees blowing in the wind will cast an accurate moving shadow on the ground \u2013 bringing the world of Sera to life like never before.<\/p>\n

Increased Draw Distances<\/strong>
With the power of Xbox One X, we can maintain higher resolution textures at a further distance than ever before \u2013 creating a higher fidelity picture and crisper world around you, even on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Superior Reflections<\/strong>
We\u2019ve pushed our surface space reflections even further to look closer to as you would expect in real life. Reflective surfaces now have a higher definition reflection of your character \u2013 whether that\u2019s in a mirror-like reflection of water, or the muddied color reflective nature of metal. It looks especially awesome on the DeeBee\u2019s metallic armor!<\/p>\n

Enhanced Character Textures
<\/strong>With our higher resolution textures now available on console thanks to Xbox One X, characters show more detail from head to toe. They\u2019ve never looked better!<\/p>\n

Experience this all at no extra cost for Gears of War 4<\/em> owners when you pick up your Xbox One X. And, if you\u2019re picking up the Xbox One X but haven\u2019t jumped in to Gears of War 4<\/em> yet, you can try it FREE now with our 10-hour trial \u2013 the perfect showcase piece for your new super-powered console.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re incredibly proud of what the team has been able to achieve on Xbox One X so far. We can\u2019t wait to see you all experience this feast for your eyeballs!<\/p>\n
