We know very little about Mass Effect: Andromeda. We know it launches in 2017, we know the PS4 Pro version will run at pseudo-4K (albeit with a checkerboard upscale effect from 1080p) and we know some basic gameplay and plot details.
Bioware general manager Aaryn Flynn has announced in response to a NeoGAF post that Mass Effect: Andromeda runs “like other Frostbite games on PS4 and Xbox One – 1080p and 900 respectively. All are at 30fps. PC has uncapped framerate. I think we’ve gotten over the 30 fps cap in cutscenes, but I’ll double-check in the next couple of weeks.”
Flynn’s quote seems to have been misused throughout various sources online with some websites claiming that the Xbox One version of the game is confirmed to run at 720p according to Flynn, none of these claims use Flynn’s direct quote, as well as running at 60 frames-per-second, contrary to what Flynn claims in his GAF comment.
While Flynn’s comment is not the official final resolution, as it may change between now and release, his quote does claim that the in-developmental Xbox One build runs at a 900p resolution, the same as Bioware’s previous title Dragon Age: Inquisition, although dynamic resolution could be in play.
