Destiny Beta Will Not Run at 1080p on Xbox One; Bungie Promises It Will at Launch

July 17, 2014

The PS4 beta for Destiny begins today, and good news, everyone—it's expected to run in 1080p resolution! The Xbox One beta begins on July 23rd, and… well… it will… eventually.

The report comes from Destiny's blog via an IGN livestream held yesterday, where comments between IGN's Ryan McCaffrey and Bungie Community Manager David Dague revealed that though the goal was to have all consoles running at 1080p, it's not quite set for the Xbox One version.

“This beta is where we are in development right now,” Dague said to McCaffrey during the interview. “The fact that you are playing in the beta is of enormous help to us because it teaches us what this thing is, it teaches us how we can perfect it and make it better before launch.”

Dague, along with Bungie developers in prior interviews, reconfirmed that the goal for Destiny is 1080p and 30fps on all consoles. Players will see if that's the case on September 9, 2014, when the FPS/sci-fi/fantasy mash-up is scheduled to drop on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

I'm currently based out of Las Vegas, NV (no I don't gamble all the time or live in a hotel on the strip) but I'm a So Cal kid through and through. I'm a Nintendiehard -- I stand by my man -- but I'm a fan of games no matter what the console, including Steam. RPGs, fighting, and action/adventure are my fortes. Give me a great story and characters any day. Call of Duty? I guess, if that's your thing. Classic Final Fantasy and Zelda? Now you're cookin' with gas!

When I'm not gaming, I like culinary adventures, moviegoing, and the Intert00bz. Ask me about my favorite web shows! I can get down on some anime, my favorite sports are boxing and baseball, and I can even get in tune with that parapsychological vibe, even though it's well-known and well-documented I'm kinda a pansy with horror stuff. (I think they get a kick out of assigning me those games for review.)

I'm also single and available, but sorry gamer girls, I play with joysticks.
