Battlefield Hardline will run at 900p on PS4 but only at 720p on the Xbox One.
Developer Visceral Games has confirmed the resolution for the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the upcoming Battlefield title.
As was the case with Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline will run at the higher 900p resolution on PS4 than the Xbox One’s 720p counterpart.
“720 on Xbox One, 900 on PS4,” said Visceral Games in a tweet.
The developer hasn’t confirmed whether either console version of the game will run at 60fps yet, but we’ve reached out to them for a comment on the topic.

It’s looking like the PC version will be the definitive edition of Battlefield Hardline and that’s partly down to the fact that it won’t just be a straight port.
“We’re doing what we can to take advantage of people’s different systems with the graphics, framerate, controls etc. we’re not just porting it over,” explained Visceral Games’ Gameplay System Producer Mike Giosecki in an earlier blog post.
“Battlefield started on the PC with 1942 and we know we have a passionate fan base on this platform.”
Giosecki also revealed that the PC edition will allow for lots of customisation if you’ve got a powerful enough rig. Anyone with such a system will even be able to play at higher resolutions, experience frame rates beyond 60fps and even play on a three-monitor set-up.
“You can play it a much higher resolutions, 1920 x 1080p and beyond up to the capabilities of your video card. You can also use much higher graphic settings on PC – which gives you the best exture filtering, texture quality and anit-aliasing in addition to other benefits. You can adjust your field of view or run higher than 60fps if you choose. You can even play with a three-monitor setup for an immersive experience. Lastly, you get to use a mouse and keyboard which gives you the best control setup for a first person shooter.”
Battlefield Hardline is out for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on March 17.
