Destiny's beta isn't 1080p on Xbox One — but Bungie promises it'll get there in time for launch

While thousands of people will soon have access to the Destiny beta test, developer Bungie is still optimizing the sci-fi shooter behind the scenes.

The studio confirmed today that the beta will not run at 1080p HD on Xbox One. In a livestream on IGN (as spotted by The Destiny Blog), Bungie community manager David Dague said that the studio will get 1080p working for Destiny on Microsoft’s console by the time it launches. Bungie already has it running at 1080p on PlayStation 4. The shooter will debut Sept. 9 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Destiny is one of the biggest releases for the second half of the year, and sometimes small differences (like a slightly higher resolution) could help push gamers to choose it on Sony’s platform.
