News summary
Xbox Wire confirmed on July 14, 2026 that Gears of War: E-Day will support hardware ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution and NVIDIA Reflex on compatible PCs. The Coalition is building the game on Unreal Engine 5 with DirectX 12, ahead of the August 6 Open Beta and the October 6 launch.
Announcement overview
NVIDIA is the exclusive PC technology partner, but The Coalition also confirmed AMD FSR, Intel XeSS and Unreal Engine Temporal Super Resolution, so PC players get vendor-neutral upscaling options rather than one required GPU brand.
Advanced Shader Delivery supplies precompiled shaders on supported configurations, starting with the Microsoft Store and the Xbox PC app. Steam players should wait for The Coalition's storefront notes before assuming the same shader package applies there.
Key details
Final benchmark targets, graphics presets and minimum or recommended PC specifications were not part of the July 14 announcement.
