We have been playing the Xbox One X for over a week now and with some titles already receiving the Xbox One X enhancements the game that stood out the most by far was Gears of War 4 and you won’t be disappointed.

Gears of War 4 Developers the Coalition take full advantage of the true power of the Xbox One X and you can read the full details below. The huge difference that stood out the most was how fluid Gears of War 4 plays and looks especially during Online game session.

Features:

• True 4K Experience: Unmatched clarity, richness and detail with true 4K visuals (3840×2160) in Visuals Rendering Mode. Even if you’re playing on a 1080p screen, you’ll instantly notice the difference thanks to 4K supersampling

• HDR: High Dynamic Range (HDR) provides increased contrast between lights and darks. Battling your way through a lightning flurry in a windflare has never looked better. GOW4 on Xbox One X supports a wide color gamut for true-to-color definition – just as the artists intended – and now at 4K resolution.

• Up to 60fps for Ultra-Smooth Gameplay: Two Preferred Rendering Options to choose from in the forms of Performance and Visuals!

Performance:

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

Visuals:

This mode uses Ultra Quality Textures, a wealth of new and improved graphical features all at 4K resolution (3840×2160) thanks to the power of Xbox One X. You’ll experience the same frame rates you’ve come to expect from Gears of War 4 – 30fps for Campaign and Horde.

In both Rendering modes, Versus will run at a rock-solid 4K 60fps (with adaptive resolution scaling).

Dolby Atmos Audio Support:

When playing Gears of War 4 on the Xbox One family of devices, we now offer Dolby Atmos, which gives you immersive, moving audio.

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 4” in a way that will make you feel like you’re inside the action, only on Xbox One.

Enhanced Light Shafts:

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.

Dynamic Shadows:

Shadows in “Gears of War 4” 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 – for example, trees blowing in the wind will cast an accurate moving shadow on the ground – bringing the world of Sera to life like never before.

Increased Draw Distances:

With the power of Xbox One X, we can maintain higher resolution textures at a further distance than ever before – creating a higher fidelity picture and crisper world around you, even on the horizon.

Superior Reflections:

We’ve 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 – whether that’s in a mirror-like reflection of water, or the muddied color reflective nature of metal. It looks especially awesome on the DeeBees’ metallic armor!

Enhanced Character Textures:

With our higher resolution textures now available on console thanks to Xbox One X,

Cheers Folks!
