In an article a few days ago, it was announced that Respawn were considering making Titanfall available at 1080p on Xbox One. Well, it seems that this has been confirmed. Richard Baker, the lead engineer, told Digital Foundry that the native resolution of 1408×792 will be ‘cranked up’ on Xbox One when Microsoft frees up GPU resources currently taken by the console’s operating system.
Now, this does not necessarily state that the resolution will be 1080p, but that fact that it will be improved is something to look forward to. Remember, that this improvement won’t happen in one day. Baker explained that:
“So far we’re not 100 per cent happy with any of the options. We’re still working on it. For day one it’s not going to change. We’re still looking at it for post-day one. We’re likely to increase resolution after we ship.”
Before the Titanfall resolution is increased, Microsoft first has to implement some sort of option for developers to utilise previously reserved GPU resources allocated to the operating system. Well you will be pleased to know that Microsoft is working on exactly that!
Baker revealed that:
“They were talking about having it available for launch and I think there were some issues for how it was going to work. It’s not available for launch but we’re definitely going to take advantage of that if they give that as an option. And the plan that is they will make that an option, so when it’s visible we’ll enable it for our game and we should be able to crank up resolution proportionally.”
Titanfall launches in the UK tomorrow, March 14 on Xbox One and PC. The Xbox 360 version will hit stores two weeks later on March 28.
