The official Xbox One X enhanced listing mentions 4K “UltraHD” support. Does that mean Mafia III will run at native 4K on Xbox One X, or will it use checkerboard rendering for instance?
The game renders at 3072×1728 and is then upscaled to 3840×2160, via a full 4K output buffer. We’re not using any form of checkerboarding as we were able to get the performance we needed out of the console for the desired resolution, as well as the various additional graphical enhancements we’ve applied.
That listing also mentions support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) displays – will that be added to the PlayStation 4 and PC versions of Mafia III as well?
As of right now we only plan to release the HDR update for the Xbox One X-enhanced version of Mafia III.
