Gears of War 4 PC System Requirements, Minimum & Ideal Specs

Here are the PC system requirements for Gears of War 4, the upcoming third person cover based shooter. If you scroll down, you’ll see they can be quite terrifying. You will need a powerful PC to run it on the highest settings with 4K textures, but even the minimum and recommended rigs are nothing to scoff at.


You will need Windows 10 with the Anniversary update installed to be able to run the game. If you don’t have it installed, check the Update and Security tab under Settings, and check for the latest Windows updates. If you are having problems, you can download it directly from Microsoft’s website – it’s a bit of a hassle, but it will definitely work.
