Gears of War: Ultimate Edition has been expected to come to the PC since Microsoft first announced the remake for the Xbox One. It appears to be closer to release as a Windows 10 Store listing briefly appeared Tuesday and revealed what kind of PC will be needed to hit 1080p and the current holy grail of graphics, 4K resolution.

The Windows 10 PC version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will be identical content wise to the Xbox One release, as captured by Windows Central. This includes the five additional missions, that were part of the original PC release, plus all of the multiplayer DLC maps, to bring the total to 19.
