Assassin’s Creed Origins runs at full 4K on Xbox One X without downscaling like PlayStation 4 Pro

Assassin’s Creed Origins runs at 4K on Xbox One X. We all knew that. Well, what we didn’t know is that the console is so powerful that even though there’s a built-in option to downscale the game during heavy load times, it still doesn’t do that. Speaking with We Write Things, producer Julien Laferriere said:

“We always like to have new toys to play with. Our friends at Microsoft were kind enough to build the Xbox One X. It’s a really cool machine. What it enables for us is we built a dynamic resolution system. What that does on Xbox One X is it enables us to render the game in full 4K. The world we crafted on 4K is amazing. That’s just one of the things we can now do on Xbox One X.”

A few weeks ago some outlets reported that there would be no difference between the Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro versions but that’s not really true. It’s great to see Microsoft’s hardware shine. This is another reason to pick up Assassin’s Creed Origins on Xbox One and then play the Xbox One X version when the console comes out! We can’t wait. What about you?
