Destiny Beta on Xbox One Won’t Be 1080p; Full HD Confirmed for Launch

4.7
If you’re eager to see Destiny running in 1080p on your Xbox One, you may have to wait a little longer. During a livestream on IGN the game’s community manager explained that the beta on Microsoft’s new console will not reach the full HD goal.

Luckily it was also confirmed that the game will indeed run at 1080p at launch, probably thanks to the use of the hardware resources previously dedicated to Kinect and now free to be exploited by developers after Microsoft unlocked them about a month ago.

Of course it isn’t much of a problem, as it’s just a beta, and its purpose is mostly to test gameplay, not graphics.

It's a beta, who cares what the resolution is.

As long as the game is fun that's all that matters imo.

This isn't that big of an issue. I play on 720p anyways.

Not really to bothered about this as it won't make to much difference for me.

Polygon I guess people wanted 1080p for the beta but it's not needed, right?
Even 720p, it's enough to tell whether you want the game or not -
It's good to know that it will be 1080p on release though.


You're right it's not needed. If a games good enough the actual gameplay and not the graphics should be enough to impress. I've played plenty of beautiful looking games on PC but the actual design let them down.

The sooner people stop this pixel related fad the better.
