Nice upgrade if you played it on a base console, not amazing if you have a Xbox One X. Shame MS didn't patch more games. Forza 7 for example could be really impressive with 120 fps and some ray tracing support.

4k60 uncompromised, was the slogan of the series X. Turns out Gears 5 is running 1728p most of the time.
