This means that if you want to see how your PC performs, you're subject to the in-game benchmark only. You can't adjust the field of view, you can't manipulate character detail and post-process effects, and you can't even view your frame rate in-game - because Windows 10 apps don't allow any sort of overlay on them. You can only change anti-aliasing to FXAA (which is anaemic at best) and all the lovely bells and whistles you've come to expect from PC games are amiss. There's a surprising lack of graphic options. Things gets worse when you finally start the game. If you've disabled automatic updates for Windows 10, then you're looking at an additional two hours. It didn't help that you have to download each and every update for Windows 10 before you can download the game itself, via the Windows Store. Compared to this, most games downloaded via Steam or Origin are done in around four hours, and that's on the higher side. The file is more than 50GB in size, but taking in excess of a day on a 50mbps connection is a colossal waste of power and electricity.

But after playing Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on my Windows 10 PC, I'm not entirely sure.įor starters, the game took forever to download. This should be, by all accounts, a good thing. Rumours of Gears of War 4 and Scalebound coming to the PC have been circulating for awhile as well.

Since then, we've seen leaks and confirmations of PC release of time-manipulating shooter Quantum Break, and one-time Xbox exclusive Forza 6. The first of these was Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. Microsoft wowed the world at E3 2015 as it promised to bring some of its more popular games to PCs.
