Another one bites the dust? Chief of Staff for Devices and Studios Group at Microsoft Aaron Greenberg answered a fan query recently about whether all Xbox One titles would be in native 1080p and revealed that Crytek’s Ryse: Son of Rome would be running at this resolution.
However, Greenberg later clarified, stating that Ryse would be running at 900p while up-scaling to 1080p.
@deaconblade Update from team, Forza 5 is native @1080p, Ryse is native @900p, but Xbox One upscales all titles to 1080p & they look amazing

This seems to also fit in with Double Helix Games, which stated that Killer Instinct technically runs at 720p, which indicates that it could upscale to 1080p.
A mishandled message or just a lack of information on Greenberg’s part? We’ll go with the later but it’s interesting that he took the chance to clarify it immediately rather than waiting for some one to contradict him later.
The number of native 1080p titles on Xbox One seems to be dropping, with Forza Motorsport 5 thus still confirmed at 1080p. Stay tuned for more as the Xbox One launches on November 22nd worldwide.
