Today, the Xbox YouTube channel released a rad new video for the upcoming role-playing game The Witcher 3. There’s just one problem: it’s not actually running on an Xbox. Whoops.

Yep, despite that XBOX logo stamped on the bottom right corner of the above video, this is actually footage from the (presumably better-looking) PC version of the game. The easiest way to tell? You can run the YouTube video at 60 frames-per-second; the developers of The Witcher 3 (out May 19 for PS4/XB1/PC) have specified that the console versions are actually locked at 30 FPS.

A representative for developer CD Projekt Red confirmed to Kotaku this morning that this footage is indeed from the PC version.

So what’s the deal here? Harmless mistake? False advertising? A little bit of both? Whatever the case, consider this a PSA for anyone who’s considering buying the upcoming RPG: don’t expect the Xbox One (or PS4) version to look this good.

Silly Microsoft. Although, the 60 fps mode on YouTube shouldn't be an indicator of anything cause the video can be recorded at 60fps but the game can still run at 30. But if the game is running at 60fps, then it is fishy.

Not a big deal, just the usual PR shit stunt.

At least this is better than making TV adds using only CGI scenes, something that happens all the time.

Checked out the footage and I'm confident that it's running at 60 frames. It can just be a careless mistake, but Microsoft should clear this up quickly.

Not the first time this has happened. I suppose they could defend it with the whole merger of Windows and Xbox concept they've presented with Windows 10?

Too many "honest mistakes" since we know this is not the first time, or the second or the third.

Could it be the last one? I don't think so

Well they no doubt got the footage from CDProject Red, they probably wanted the best looking footage to represent their game.

I only trust Nintendo and Indies when it comes to showing you what youre gonna get.

MS just updated the video to mention it's PC footage.

Didn't MS do this before?
