The Destiny beta that begins Wednesday on Xbox One looks great, but it runs at 900p because the beta, in practical development terms, had to be branched off and finished a while ago. However, after Microsoft announced that the June XDK update would grant developers a bit more GPU horsepower to work with , Bungie promised to ship Destiny for Xbox One in 1080p on September 9. We have the first-ever 1080p Xbox One footage of the game, taken straight off an Xbox One development kit at Bungie. Graphics Engineer Chris Tchou walks us through the development build.
