On the other hand, its managers assure that the adaptation of Gears 5 to the new console has been quite fast, with the help of Epic Games due to the use of Unreal Engine 4; so much so, that graphics specifications similar to the Ultra configuration have been achieved in its equivalent for PC at 60 stable frames per second.
