The launch of Gears 6 is still a real mystery and we still don’t have any official information or estimates on a possible release date. Gears of War 4 hit the market in 2016 and so far the last part of this franchise, Gears 5, landed in 2019so according to this order of release, it was most logical that the sixth volume hit the market in 2022.

However, we must keep this in mind Gears 6 finds itself in a similar situation to Gears of War 4.a title that marked the leap to the then new generation, the Xbox One. If we look at the time that passed between the launch of Gears of War 3 and Gears of War 4, we can see that they were five years.

This is completely normal, because after all, it is not that difficult to launch new installments within the platform that you control adapting the triple A franchise to a new generation. That’s what will happen with Gears 6, and I honestly think it’s very likely that we’ll start hearing about this title in 2024.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Gears 6 will eventually be exclusive to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. Gears 5 completely sold out Xbox One and Xbox One X hardwareIn fact, the latter was able to move her with a rather careful global lighting, which made the said game one of the most advanced and best optimized on Unreal Engine 4.

Gears 6 will represent a very big advancement

And not only in terms of graphic quality, which is completely logical thanks to this development aimed at the current generation of consoles, but it could also be the first to bet on a truly open world approach. Its development takes place theoretically on the graphics engine Unreal Engine 5, so the difference between it and Gears 5 can be huge.

However, the truth is that seeing how poorly optimized With the first games based on said graphics engine and the high level of demand they have, I have my doubts as to how far the developers will be able to take this open world type approach. I don’t want to get ahead of myself because there is always a chance that this game will become the exception that proves the rule, in fact we already saw this with Gears of War 4, which was a game with excellent graphics and great optimization.

We can take it for granted that Gears 6 will use upscaling technology to improve performance and increase resolution. On Xbox Series X and Series S, it should support AMD FSR 3, although it can’t be ruled out that it ends up using the Unreal Engine 5 upscaler. On PC, it should support AMD FSR 3, NVIDIA DLSS 3 and Intel XeSS.
