The game will use a lower resolution to accomplish the task

Developer Double Helix Game says that it wants the upcoming Xbox One exclusive Killer Instinct to run at 60 frames per second at all times, in order to deliver an impressive visual experience for all gamers.

The downside is that a high FPS count means that the game is only using a 720p resolution, even if the new console from Microsoft is able to push out 1080p.

The team tells GamingBolt that, “Technically we are running at 720p and 60 FPS. 60 FPS is another pillar of the project.”

They add, “Nothing would be more frustrating than need pixel perfect accuracy at anything below 60. It would feel sluggish and unresponsive.”

Killer Instinct is a classic fighting game that will be offered under a free-to-play business model to Xbox One buyers and more characters can be obtained for real-world money.

The Xbox One is expected to launch in late November.
