Xbox Series X has finally got an answer to Sony’s tech demos from last year that utilized and presented the seemingly unending potential of Unreal Engine 5.

Well, thanks to the developers of Gears of War, The Coalition, Xbox fans can finally find out just how good the graphics can look when a game is running Unreal Engine 5.

But, compared to the tech demos PlayStation got last year, these videos are shorter. That doesn’t really seem to matter though as the videos get the point of how great games look on the Unreal Engine across just fine.
