Gears of War Ultimate Edition Will Launch on PC After Xbox One

4.6
Microsoft announced that the Gears of War franchise would be returning to PC at E3 this year, when they confirmed that The Coalition’s remake of the original title in the franchise, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, would be launching on PC in addition to the previously announced Xbox One release. However, it does seem as though PC players won’t be getting the game right off the bat- Microsoft’s gaming head honcho Phil Spencer confirmed that the PC version of the game will be launching after the Xbox One version.

Given that The Coalition is a small team – something that they reminded us when they discussed why they only decided to remaster one game instead of doing a full fledged trilogy remaster – it does make sense for them to prioritize one version for launch first, before moving on to the other. That said, doubtless those PC players who were looking forward to this release will be disappointed.

Zipp0 Will you be able to use Xbox 360 Controllers on PC is the daring question?


Daring and dumb question every console port game has controller support on pc


The really question is that, do the games require an Xbox controller for online...


That doesn't make any sense. It will be like call of duty/every other AAA ported game. It will support both controller and keyboard/mouse and both will be usable online.

PsychedelicTruffles I bet this is gonna be a controller only game because it's an Xbox exclusive coming to PC which doesn't sound good lol

I'll probably buy it though for the 60 fps and I doubt the graphics will be much improved when it's ported to Pc from Xbox one.


You could use mouse and keyboard on the original so I don't see why they'd change it now.
