Gears of War: Ultimate Edition was announced for PC last June and since then we’ve heard little to no information other than it’s still being made.
Recently a listing for the game was spotted on the Windows Store along with a price of over €900. Now obviously the price was placeholder as well as the fact that you couldn’t actually buy the game, but it’s system requirements and features were indeed on the page.
As of now it’s been removed from the store altogether, but we snagged the information before it got pulled so take a look.

Those recommended system specs seem a bit high for a game over ten years old, remaster or not. The Xbox One version didn’t run very well, so if you’re someone who’s been waiting to see how the PC version runs it might be best to wait and see when the likes of Digital Foundry get their hands on it.
