Microsoft: Expect More 1080p Games on Xbox One in the Future
Sub Headline: Sniper Elite 3 developer made similar claims last month.
Xbox One owners will see more native 1080p resolution games in the future, according to Boyd Multerer, director of development for Xbox.
Speaking to Xbox: The Official Magazine, Multerer explained it's just a matter of time until game creators optimize development for Xbox One. "I fully expect [more 1080p games] to happen," he said. "The [graphics processing units] are really complicated beasts this time around."
Multerer also commented on launch titles for Xbox One, pointing out that developers didn't have the time to fully explore the capabilities of the console. But they will, he claimed. "The hardware is basically baked, and what comes next is people discovering better software techniques to take advantage of it, especially in the ordering of the data so it flows through all the caches correctly, and I think there's a lot of opportunity there," said Multerer.
These expectations line up with what the senior producer of Sniper Elite 3 discussed last month when talking about game resolution differences between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. "They are releasing a new SDK that’s much faster, and we will be comfortably running at 1080p on Xbox One," said Jean-Baptiste Bolcato. "We were worried six months ago and we are not anymore, it’s got better and they are quite comparable machines."
In the meantime, Microsoft recently announced a new update for Xbox One coming out in April, and 25 new indie games were just revealed for the system.
