Gears of War 4 is the poster child of Microsoft's new Play Anywhere campaign, and recent interviews have revealed that the PC version (Windows 10 exclusive) will be something quite special.

Mike Rayner, Microsoft's Technical Director spoke to Digital Foundry, saying that the developer's goal was to make Gears of War 4 "highly optimised and customizable". Meaning that high end PCs can get the most out of the game, and is set to contain more options than even PC exclusive games.

"Today we sit at 28 different settings and we're thinking of ways to add more for people to really have full control," Rayner said.

"Along with more settings, we're putting extra time into making it clear what impact a setting will have on GPU/CPU/VRAM so there is a clear correlation between a setting change and its performance impact."

This PC build will also have unlocked frame-rate from the get go, and it will happily support full 4K gaming.

Gears of War 4 is out on PC and Xbox One, with Play Anywhere cross-buy in October.
