Microsoft says 1080p Xbox One games will become more common
Xbox director of development Boyd Multerer told OXM he "fully" expects more developers to hit 1080p over time, saying: "The [graphics processing units] are really complicated beasts this time around."
Multerer said that as developers learn the ins and outs of the Xbox One hardware, they will eventually be able produce far better looking games.
"The hardware is basically baked," he said, "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."
He also claimed the developers of Xbox One launch titles didn't have a lot of time to tweak their games and get them 1080p ready in time for launch.
"Once these engines - the engine developers like Frostbyte and those guys - they really wrap their heads around this particular GPU architecture, then all of the titles coming out of that studio will take advantage of it and get better," he said.
However, Multerer was also quick to state that resolution isn't everything. "Part of it is learning how to tune, part of it is I think a very legitimate question of quality of pixels versus number of pixels, and of course both are interesting."
A number of multiplatform games have rendered at a higher resolution on PS4 than Xbox One since the two consoles released in November 2013, including high profile release like Call of Duty Ghosts and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. And some Microsoft platform exclusives like Titanfall have also failed to launch at 1080p.

I'd like to see it more common, but is it really that much of a difference from what we have now, consoles need to catch up.

Even though it's just up-scaled 1080p.

you are very misinformed. Its bad how outdated the "next gen" consoles are. Your gpu is weaker than a 7850. They are just going to release games with terrible textures just so they can say its 1080p

Miss Very good news. Was really disappointed when I heard it only supports 720p at first. Glad 1080 is coming back, it's a lot better than 720 in my opinion.
Only supports 720p? What are you talking about? Xbox One has had games at 1080p since launch.

I don't think 4k gaming will be financially viable within 6 months.

Might I add that PC doesn't use up-scaled images because the GPU's can take it.
This is not the PC section.
