Chalky has this now as well so I'd be happy to join a crew and make a decent squad with you guys .

I might be interested in this too. I’m rubbish but keen.

Team chucklefuck, assemble!!!!

Some highlights:

Dynamic Resolution: On Xbox One X tops at native 4K, Xbox One 1080p

Dynamic upscaling based on load

First Gears game to focus on 60fps target across all modes on Xbox One X

New visuals and optimization

Assets and quality it's just about the same on both consoles main difference is resolution

Cutscenes are in engine unlike Gears 4

50% increased polygon count on the characters compared to Gears 4

Cinematic acting and technology is among the best in the industry on par with Naughty Dog

Great achievement to have tons of improvements on console compared to Gears 4, environments and color palette have been improved

Best HDR implementation to date on a game

Good depth of field on both consoles

Destructive elements on the map to make it more dynamic gameplay wise opens the door for varied encounters

Ray traced shadows

Great looking game

3 player split screen 30fps target visuals remain impressive overall

Mostly steady 60fps with a dip every now and then on campaign very stable but not 100% percent

Xbox One S 30fps target

Motion blur disabled on Xbox One S splitscreen

No multiplayer tested for this video

And I'm a decent Gears vet, especially with 4s MP.

How do you one-up the phenomenal Xbox One X version of Gears 5? Simple: check out the PC version. Join Alex Battaglia and John Linneman for a detailed breakdown of what's just a couple of points away from what Alex reckons is one of the all-time greatest PC ports.

Sounds like you can solve any problems by setting your Xbox to offline in the console settings in the meantime.

Seems like my collectibles achievement has stopped tracking as a result of this

Still good excuse to not go after the games more ridiculously grindy achievements if I can’t 100% the game I guess.

I believe you’ll get the achievement eventually, sea of thieves had the same problem and they then pushed them out after a week.
