Recommended PC Requirements
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 11 64-bit (25H2) or newer |
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 5 5600 / Intel Core i5-11600K |
| RAM | 16GB |

One of the biggest requirements is storage space. Gears of War: E-Day will require 130GB of free storage, and an SSD is mandatory for the game.
The hardware requirements suggest that most gamers with a modern mid-range gaming PC should be able to run the game. At the same time, support for ray tracing, HDR10, and 4K resolution means players with more powerful hardware will be able to enjoy better visuals when the game launches later this year.
