While Xbox One players won’t have to worry about running Gears of War 4, if you decide to purchase the PC version of the game, you have to make sure that your rig can handle it. Therefore, earlier this week, Microsoft revealed the system requirements for Gears of War 4.
Set to release on October 11, 2016 for PC and Xbox One, Gears of War 4 is the fifth title in the Gears of War franchise.
At E3 2016 Microsoft announced that the PC version of the video game will be released exclusively for Windows 10 which means that you can forget about it if you use an earlier version of Windows.
