Industry insider suggests that a soon to be released Ubisoft game will be at a lower resolution on Xbox One than it is on PS4.

 

Industry insider Ahsan Rasheed, otherwise known as Thuway, has said that a soon to be released Ubisoft game is set to run at different resolutions on PS4 and Xbox One.
 
"Get your hats ready, Resolution-Gate coming to a Ubisoft game near you," 
 
The resolutiongate reference pertains to multiple instances of multiplatform games that run at higher resolutions on PS4 than they do on Xbox One. 
 
 
News that Call of Duty would run at a native 1080p on PS4 and 720p on Xbox One kicked off the debate on resolution difference on PS4 and Xbox One and the degree to which these differences matter.
 
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is the latest game to be embroiled in arguments around the relative power of the PS4 and Xbox One after it was revealed that Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition runs at 60fps on the PS4 and 30fps on the Xbox One.  

 

- I am not surprised by this considering other Ubisoft titles like Assassins Creed already run on lower resolution on the Xbox One than the PS4 and also every other multiplatform game except sports and racing games.

Can we stop posting these 720p vs 1080p threads? I think we've had enough of these.

Nope.  I like seeing these.  Wondering when there will be 1080 1080 on a third party cross platform game, or when it will be common.  Don't like em? Don't read em.

Well considering the topic is only a rumor, does this really add anything to the discussion?

Can we have a xbox vs ps4 vs pc comparison then? I like to run my games at 2560x1600. Resolution seems to be so important, right?

No, I personally like knowing which games I am interested in not making what I feel is next gen.  So then I can feel cheated by thinking I bought the wrong next gen system.

 

1080 is NOT new.  It's been out for years.   The xbox one is a NEXT GEN system.  It should be able to do 1080.  If not then they shouldn't have released it.  I think it's honestly ridiculous that they cannot do it.  

 

If I am paying a ridiculous amount for this system, extra controller, xbox live, and games, I want it to be a good investment.   It so far isn't living up to next gen. 

 

 

It's honestly laughable, I am not a sony fan boy at all, the last playstation I played was the ps2 when it first came out and I never played the ps 3.  But the fact that theirs is doing native 1080 and 60fps right away, I hope Microsoft and the Game devs, eat it. They need have games that compete 1/1 or very close to it.   

 

 

BF for example, 720p TV the game looks great.   BF on a 1080, Looks like complete ######. I hate it.  

 

 

Just my opinion anyways.

A) Where does it even mention 720p?

B) Where does it even mention Watch Dogs?
C) These 'insider' rumours are becoming beyond a joke and have hardly been right and often are common speculation

run at a native 1080p while 720p.... the way this is written it seems to indicate 1080 is native and 720 is not ... both is wrong... Completely wrong use of the word native.

To me a consumer, it has everything to do with it.  Next gen to me is a product that can do more stuff than the previous product and it can do stuff better.   Next gen is new tech. New tech should be able to do old tech.  

 

I think it's laughable that they cant do it.  It irritates me.  Maybe in years they'll figure out a way to do it.

As for the rumour, it could be 900p, it's quite clear the message is simply less than 1080p, not confirming 720p. Since AC4 is 900p on One, 1080p on PS4, I'm going to guess 900p myself. I know it's open world, but 720p would just be embarrassing.

They can do it though.  It's been done already.

 

Also can I say generally that this whole fad of attaching -gate to the ends of words needs to die?  It just makes everything sound silly.

The list of 720 games are bigger than the list of 1080 games. It has been done yes, only of a few games. The bigger players game wise, (BF, Titan Fall for example) These are big players. They should be 1080 and their not.

Aah Thuway the "insider" who can't post this on NeoGAF because he has no source and resorts to twitter.

I am still waiting for someone to start a controller-gate thread for shoddy quality PS4 controller. :whistle:

You can do that for $400? Please tell me your secret.

 

Regardless, this is a rumor at best so why even make a thread about it. It's not even that CLEAR of a rumor either. If it's 100% confirmed, then sure we need to talk about it because we should all be informed before making a purhcase. 720p is today's market is unacceptable.

Who doesn't have a TV? :P

 

Back to the topic, who really thinks a game like this would have equal parity anyway? It's been delayed, it's from Ubisoft who's first effort on consoles was 900p on One, 1080p on PS4 (AC4) and it's the most taxing kind of game, open world. Tomb Raider has large open plains, but it's not really open world.

 

The only open world game coming before Watch Dogs for PS4 is inFamous, and it's doing 1080p/30FPS. What does that mean? Not that much in that it's a different developer, but it's an open world game running 1080p nevertheless.

Sure, I don't see why not.  Though the current "War" is between the ps4 and xbone not the pc, but feel free.. I mean I've read about some games being capped at 30fps on pc (NFS Rivals).

Thank you.  720P in todays market is unacceptable indeed.

I think watch dogs will be quite a demanding game so its not surprising the X1 cant do it at 1080p just yet. Give it 2-3 years and itll be equal if not slightly lower than the PS4, PS4 was designed to give good looking games now rather than having devs take 3 or so years to learn how to get the most out of an X1 style architecture and thats from Mark Cerny himself - Road to PS4 video

 

still depends on how the upscaler works if its good enough to make it look as good as say a PS4 version but think watch dogs maybe 900p on X1.  Even if both consoles look the same in the game people will still moan.

If people want to post rumors as if they are news, so be it, but is it wrong to ask the OP to use a correct title? It does not mention 720p or the name of the game, so why have words been added? It just looks like it was done for effect.

If you like reading about that stuff as part of the console war rubbish, have fun wading through the crap. Are you trying to say you like the flaming and console wars? That's much different than wanting info about games, which is what I like.

Name some 720 games then... or are you simply equalling sub 1080 with 720...

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series.
