Gears 6 will run at 60fps on Unreal Engine 5, according to a well-known insider

While waiting for official information which, in fact, does not yet exist, we appeal for another release from a well-known insider to find out something Gears 6the new chapter of the series that should have been in development at The Coalition for some time, and of which we learn that it will probably also go to 60fpsusing Unreal Engine 5.

The detail in question comes from Shinobi602, a well-known insider in the gaming sector and with a track record of correct information given in the past which makes him a fairly reliable source. Speaking on the ResetEra forum, the person in question seems to have indicated that Gears 6 will also run at 60 frames per second.

Or rather, it seems at least to have ruled out the fact that it is locked at 30 fpsreportedly “Fear not,” simply replied to another user who said “All I can say at the moment about my anticipation for Gears 6 is please make it not 30 fps“.

The answer therefore seems to indicate that Gears 6 will not be limited to 30 fps and will therefore probably have at least one 60 fps graphics mode, which is rather predictable considering also the precedents from The Coalition.

The Coalition have considerable experience

The discussion obviously emerged following the announcement of 30 fps for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, which sparked the usual hornet's nest of controversies, which are often based practically on questions of principle for console users.

On the other hand, it seems that Unreal Engine 5-based games have some difficulty achieving high frame-rates on current hardware, unless you sacrifice a lot of graphical detail, as we also saw with Immortals of Aveum.

However, it must be said that The Coalition is one of the most expert teams ever in the use of the engine by Epic Games, having also actively collaborated with the company in question for the optimization and implementation of the software, so it is foreseeable that Gears 6 should not have major problems on this front.

Meanwhile, it has also emerged that Gears 6 could be announced at the Xbox Games Showcase, and that it could have graphics that “we're not ready for”, according to Shinobi.
