The release of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard next month will bring Visual parity for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, at a 1080p and 60 FPS.
If you’re an Xbox fan, this is a big deal: Since its release in late 2013, the Xbox One has consistentlyb lost graphically to PS4 version of the game.
in many cases the Xbox One is unable to play games at 1080p—sometimes called Full HD, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 — while the PS4 has no issue doing so.
So what’s going on with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard?
According to GamingBolt,, the game’s producer, Masachika Kawata, has told them that RE7 will achieve “visual parity” across platforms.
“Kawata confirmed that the game will run at 60 FPS and 1080p on PS4 and Xbox One, both,” the publication explains. “He also confirmed that the game will support HDR on Xbox One S, PS4, and PS4 Pro.”
There’s no explanation for how the game is able to achieve 1080p/60 FPS on Xbox One or visual parity with the PS4 in general; both are rarities for AAA game titles. I suppose part of the reason may simply be that it’s not a particularly fast-moving game, compare to a shooter like those in the COD series. But it’s good news nonetheless. Assuming you’re into horror games, that is.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard arrives on January 24, 2017. Like so many games these days, it will ship in a standard version for $60 and a higher-end deluxe version that includes access to future downloadable content (DLC) for $80.
