With less than a month to go until Microsoft launches its own next-generation consoles with the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series Y, some embargoes regarding the hardware and games are starting to lift. Part of the excitement surrounding the new systems are their ability to play games from the previous generation and even boost them with technical and visual improvements. Recently, a preview embargo for Gears 5 has expired leading to new information about how the Xbox One game will look and feel on next generation hardware.
While most fans agree that Gears 5 was a great looking Xbox One title, The Coalition has made improvements using the new hardware in the Xbox Series X/S to push things even further beyond what the PC version could do. For one, the multiplayer component can reach 120 frames per second running on the Series X. At the very least, fans can enjoy the title at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, something not even the Xbox One X could reach.
Videos and screenshots comparing the Xbox One, PC, and Xbox Series X versions have also started to appear online. The PC version was captured by Bang4BuckPC who used insane settings on an RTX 3090 settings. The Xbox One X version comes from Lazy 4k and the Xbox Series X images are pulled from GameKult.
While the visual difference is much easier to see compared to the Xbox One X and Xbox Series X in terms of fidelity and clarity in the image, the difference with the PC version is a little murkier at first glance. However, the Xbox Series X version not only displays reflections much better than the PC version, the game is also coming with a number of added features that PC players won’t have access to. This includes higher texture resolution, improved anisotropic filtering, higher depth of field, further draw distances and high level object detailing, shadow resolution and distance, better post processing for things like lens flare and bloom, as well as high resolution volume fog.
Being backward compatible was a major focus for Microsoft in developing the XBox Series X/S. Not only does this mean the console is launching with access to thousands of games, but players who are coming from the Xbox One can also continue to use accessories from the previous generation as well like controllers. When factoring in the likes of Game Pass, Microsoft is certainly giving fans a lot of ways to save money this generation from new games to controllers as well.
Gears 5 is available now on PC and Xbox One with an improved version available at launch for the Xbox Series X/S.
