PC System Analysis For Gears of War 4 Requirements

Gears Of War 4 is built using an advanced version of the Unreal engine. Gears 4 will likely require a top end PC. We expect something around a Skylake i7 processor along with an Nvidia GTX 970 and 16GB system memory to meet recommended system requirements. This should mean High graphics settings at 1080p and 60 frames per second. More info on this as we get closer to the release
