According to a recent report, Microsoft will utilize EA’s Battlefront II to show off “True-4K” on Project Scorpio, the next Xbox console.

This tidbit comes by way of Windows Central, which claims to have “received a partial list of planned 4K titles for the next Xbox” via some marketing materials. This claim is not officially confirmed at this time, but Windows Central appears fairly confident, so I’d mark this as a bit more than just a rumor.

Windows Central included Battlefront in a list of games that “Microsoft wants to use to exemplify Project Scorpio’s six-teraflops (TF), True-4K capabilities.”

Because both the Scorpio and Battlefront II are slated for a holiday launch this year, Microsoft using EA’s next Star Wars title to highlight the console’s 4K abilities makes sense. Considering that the 2015 Battlefront looks beautiful even when not in 4K, I’d reckon Battlefront II will look pretty amazing at such a high resolution.

Windows Central did not mention if Battlefront II will be 4K on the PlayStation 4 Pro, although it seems reasonable to expect the game to run at the higher resolution on Sony’s console. I suppose there is a chance Microsoft and EA could work out an exclusive deal so that Project Scorpio is the lone console that can run Battlefront II at 4K. To me, that seems unlikely, even if the companies partner together for marketing purposes.

EA partnered with Sony for Battlefront in 2015 (and even released a Darth Vader-themed PS4). A year later, Battlefield 1, another similar EA title, tied its marketing with the Xbox brand. Neither marketing decision impacted the exclusivity of either game, however.

The previous Battlefront runs at 900p on the PS4 and at 720p on the Xbox One, according to Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry. Depending on how beefy your rig is, it can be run at 4K on PC (and looks especially gorgeous when using a Sweet FX mod).

Other games Windows Central mentioned that will be 4K-ready for the Scoprio include Forza Motorsport 7, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, the next Call of Duty, FIFA, Madden and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Edit: As a note, if the PS4 Pro does run Battlefront II at 4K, it’ll possibly be upscaled instead of a native 4K resolution, which is currently done on a several of games. There’s also the possibility of upscaling on the Scorpio, as well as dynamic resolution (i.e., resolution that changes in order to keep a consistent frame rate). Regardless, the more powerful consoles should give a boost in graphical fidelity; for example, Digital Foundry reported the PS4 Pro version of Battlefield 1 (which runs in the same engine as EA’s Battlefront games) provides “a clear visual upgrade” over the PS4 version of the game.
