UPDATE: Sony has removed claims stating that the PlayStation 4 version of Watch Dogs will run at 1080p/60fps, but continues to claim that the PS4 game will “offer the best graphics on any console” and let players “experience Watch_Dogs in a way that only PS4 can provide”.
Ubisoft has yet to comment.
ORIGINAL REPORT: The PlayStation 4 version of Watch Dogs will run at 1080p, 60 frames per second according to Sony, who claims that the PS4 version will feature “the best graphics on any console”.
The claims were made on PlayStation.com (spotted by NeoGAF), where Sony promises “The True Watch_Dogs Experience. Only on PlayStation 4”.
“The world of Watch_Dogs comes alive on PS4 with the best graphics on any console and exclusive missions found only on PlayStation,” reads the description. “Hack everything as you make your way through Chicago’s underground as you experience Watch_Dogs in a way that only PS4 can provide, at 60 Frames Per Second in 1080p.”
Ubisoft has yet to formally confirm the game’s resolution and frame rate on any console, although comments from cinematics animation lead Lars Bonde last month suggested that the game will run at “full HD” 1080p on PS4.
The Xbox One version has been rumoured to run at 960p, although that has yet to be confirmed.
Last month, animation director Colin Graham told VideoGamer.com that he “can’t tell the difference” between the Xbox One and PS4 versions, stating that “as far as I can see they’re identical”.
Watch Dogs launches on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on May 27.
