Halo 5: Guardians’ multiplayer beta will run at 720p/60fps, 343 Industries has confirmed to Eurogamer.

The resolution is still being optimised for the final game, however, and may improve between now and its autumn 2015 launch.

“For the beta, at this point we’re totally focused on gameplay,” studio head Josh Holmes told the site. “We’re midway through development. We’re balancing and tuning the gameplay systems. All of the polish and optimisation graphically is stuff that typically comes towards the end of the production cycle.

“So, for the beta, we’re going to be coming out at 720p and 60fps. That’s not the final resolution for the game. You can imagine as we go through the remainder of the project we’ll be focused on polishing the visual look of the game. You can expect it will look amazing when it comes out.”

Access to the Halo 5: Guardians beta is currently limited to those who pick up today’s Halo: The Master Chief Collection, with the beta expected to go live on December 29.

The first footage and details on Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer was revealed last night, with the game set to introduce ‘Smart Scope’, an ADS system that lets players zoom in all weapons. For more info, take a look at the video below.
