Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is a remaster of the original Gears of War game developed by The Coalition and Splash Damage and published by Microsoft Studios for Microsoft's Xbox One console and Windows 10 operating system. The game features remastered graphics, textures and sound, while running at native 1080p 30 frames per second in the campaign and 1080p 60 frames per second in multiplayer, and includes the missions and maps from the PC version of the original Gears of War that were absent from the Xbox 360 version of the game. More features have been added that include mechanics from newer Gears of War games, such as spotting and switching weapons while roadie running, among others. Gears of War: Ultimate Edition also supports dedicated servers for both online matchmaking and private matches.
