Remedy has explained why Quantum Break runs in 720p.

“Quantum Break‘s 1080p output is a temporal reconstruction from four previous 720p 4xMSAA frames,” the studio said to Inquisitr.

“This approach gets us high pixel quality in combination with complex shading and effects, allowing us to achieve a cinematic look. However, varying sample counts between passes and temporal upscaling makes talking about resolution, as it is traditionally understood, complicated in the case of Quantum Break.”

From what we’ve seen of Act 1 of the game, those concerned with graphics have nothing to worry about.

Quantum Break heads to Windows PC and Xbox One from 5 April.
