The Witcher 3 May Only Run At 900p On Xbox One
When the new generation consoles first came out, there was a big hoopla made about the difference in display on the Xbox One an PlayStation 4. Sony's console consistently hit 1080p for major releases, but Microsoft was lagging behind, only hitting 900p.
As time has gone on, that has evened out as developers have come to understand the Xbox One better, but it looks like the p debate is about to be rekindled. Gamestar reported (translated by NeoGAF) that when they went to see the game, the Xbox version was only running at 900p. When they asked the developer if the game would be running at full resolution on release, CD Project RED said they are trying, but they couldn't promise it.
The emphasis on resolution, especially for just 180 pixels, is mostly overblown. These kinds of stories almost always act as ammunition for those in the console war trenches. I do hope CD Projekt RED get the game running at a higher resolution, but it will hardly be the end of the world if they don't.
