A developer at Rebellion Games has spoken out to make clear that upcoming improvements to the Xbox One SDK will allow for more games to easily operate at 1080p.

They (Microsoft) are releasing a new SDK that’s much faster and we will be comfortably running at 1080p on Xbox One. We were worried six months ago and we are not anymore, it’s got better and they are quite comparable machines."Jean-Baptiste Bolcato - Senior Producer at Rebellion Games"

He goes on to claim that it is currently difficult to output 1080p on the Xbox One due to the minimal amount of base eSRAM included in the system.

It’s such a small size within there that we can’t do everything in 1080p with that little buffer of super-fast RAM. It means you have to do it in chunks or using tricks, tiling it and so on. "Jean-Baptiste Bolcato - Senior Producer at Rebellion Games"

He did not let on what exactly is going to allow developers to more easily output their games at 1080p but he is persistent in declaring his personal belief that the Xbox One will "catch up" to PS4 in terms of usable resources in development in the near future.
