Rumor: The Division Hits 1080p On PS4, 900p On Xbox One

By now, nobody should be surprised at a multiplatform game performing better on PlayStation 4.

Many major multiplats have done better in the resolution department on Sony's console, so another shouldn't cause a stampede of reactions.

However, this is hardly official: According to industry tipster Tidux , Tom Clancy's The Division will hit 1080p resolution on PS4, but only 900p on Xbox One:

Several of Ubisoft's next-gen offerings have produced higher resolution on PS4, and they're not the only manufacturer to put out a game with max 1080p HD on Sony's machine. For whatever reason, it seems developers just aren't getting the Xbox One to max out in that department.

We have to hear it straight from the developer's lips first, though.

Ubisoft Claims The Division Will Boast Revolutionary Detail

Ben-Dutka 7 Comments

We already knew about Tom Clancy's The Division , but now Ubisoft is making some pretty bold claims.

When it was presented at the 2013 Spike VGX Awards, the publisher revealed that the anticipated title would be coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. We also learned it would be set in the Splinter Cell universe and deliver a level of detail no game has ever achieved.

The exact quote is- "Never before has a video game reached this level of detail." The developers are using the vaunted Snowdrop Engine, which is being used to capture light realistically via a volumetric lighting system. There are also procedural destruction elements, and the result is a more authentic atmosphere. The video shown – watch it below – is pretty darn impressive, and we know that fans of Tom Clancy's products, and military games in general, are champing at the bit.

But the question is whether or not it will really achieve unprecedented levels of realism. That really is a tall order.
