Xbox One is promising to have more 1080p games in the future, and told console owners to be patient as the new technology is more "complicated."

"I fully expect [more 1080p games] to happen," said Boyd Multerer to Xbox: The Official Magazine. "The [graphics processing units] are really complicated beasts this time around."

He also claimed developers have yet to fully dive in and figure out the exact capabilities of their new console, and as the system gets older the games will get better.

"The hardware is basically baked, and what comes next is people discovering better software techniques to take advantage of it, especially in the ordering of the data so it flows through all the caches correctly, and I think there's a lot of opportunity there," said Multerer.

According to IGN there were initial concerns about the Xbox One catching up to the PS4's graphics, and now that worry is subsiding.

"They are releasing a new SDK that's much faster, and we will be comfortably running at 1080p on Xbox One," said Jean-Baptiste Bolcato. "We were worried six months ago and we are not anymore, it's got better and they are quite comparable machines."

Back in October before the console came out,  rumors were circulating that the console could only support 900p graphics.

"Xbox One fully supports native 1080p output at 60 fps. It is up to individual developers to determine what resolution best fits their design goals. At launch, Xbox One will present all titles at 1080p-whether natively or upscaled," said a Microsoft representative to Extremetech at the time.
