Sledgehammer Games, the developer of the newly-released Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare first-person shooter, confirms the actual resolution details of the game on the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft, stating that the title runs at a native 1920x1080 on the PS4 and 1360x1080 on the Xbox One.

The PS4 and Xbox One have been engaged in a pretty strong war in terms of performance, and the battle has mostly been won by Sony's console, as quite a few games are running at a better resolution or framerate on the PS4 than on the Xbox One.

After a lot of uncertainty, especially due to the controversial Call of Duty: Ghosts from last year, the performance figures for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare have just been revealed by its developer, Sledgehammer Games.

Advanced Warfare runs better on PS4 than on Xbox One

As part of a special Reddit AMA session, Sledgehammer's Glen Schofield goes in detail about the game's technical performance on the two new consoles, confirming that the Xbox One version has a dynamic resolution that goes from 1360x1080 to the full 1920x1080 figure. Meanwhile, the PS4 edition of Advanced Warfare runs natively at 1080p and no scaling is required.

Schofield also emphasizes that, even with these resolutions, the game's framerate remains at the solid 60fps figure, which is a traditional feature for the first-person shooter franchise.

"Minimum XboxOne resolution is 1360x1080, and dynamically scales from there to full 1080p. That’s over 50% increase from last year. Advanced Warfare runs native 1080p on PS4. Both running at rock solid 60fps."

Getting the game on the new consoles was tough

Schofield also confirms that working with the two new consoles from Sony and Microsoft was a tough job, but thanks to the extended three-year development cycle, the studio's staff were able to ensure that Advanced Warfare ran great on the new devices.

"Just getting the game onto next gen platforms was tough. All new engine and tech, learning our way around that was time consuming but that's where the three years came in handy."

Last year's Call of Duty: Ghosts, which arrived from series founder Infinity Ward, ran natively at 1080p on the PS4, thanks to a day-one update, while the Xbox One edition ran at a much lower 720p resolution that was upscaled to 1080p and resulted in an oversharpened image.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare launches this week across PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
