Gears 5 looks no different on Xbox Series X over the Xbox One X

Gears 5 was meant to be a hugely improved release on the Xbox Series X, but thanks to some new screenshots from the Xbox Series X version of the game, it seems not.

There were 4 photos shared on Twitter here, so I grabbed them and have some side-by-side comparisons (compared to the Xbox One X on top, and Xbox Series X on bottom). It makes it easier to look at Gears 5 in a side-by-side comparison between the two flagship Xbox consoles. Check them out below.

This is what we were told to expect from the Xbox Series X version of Gears 5:

• Higher resolution textures
• Improved anisotropic filtering
• Higher-resolution volume fog
• Higher quality depth of field
• Extremely far draw distances with high level of object detail
• Shadow resolution and shadow distance
• High-quality screen-space reflections
• Post processing improvements like bloom, lens flare, light shafts, etc

And now, side-by-side screenshots of Gears 5 on the Xbox One X and Xbox Series X:
