Gears of War 4 PC system requirements revealed along with 4K gameplay trailer We hope you're ready to upgrade your PC as Gears of War 4 definitely needs a beast of a machine to run.

Gamescom is in full swing, and one of the first things Microsoft showed off was the PC version of Gears of War 4 running at 4K.

The short gameplay demo of the PC version of Gears of War 4 takes place during the “Rescue” chapter, which follows JD, Kait, and Del as they chase a large unknown enemy through an old COG fort. As they give chase, two new Swarm enemies suddenly appear: Drones and Pouncers. As you’d expect, the Swarm enemies need to be defeated in order to progress, which is the main aspect of this gameplay trailer.
