The Xbox Series X UI runs At 1080p

It's perfectly acceptable and actually a good thing in my book if this is the case, but as of now we have zero reliable sources to corroborate this.
We have no idea how much this would free up resources, or how much RAM the UI even takes right now compared to PS5.
Man It looks great as is. I want as much power to games as possible. UI is for me to find games
LMAO I was just going to say how I can wait to see an XSX Pros/Cons list with a "CON - 1080P UI" bulletpoint.
Yeah. I just quickly read it in the OP and assumed it was legit.
Yeah you're right. Can't wait for the boxes to ship so people can complain about matte vs glossy materials on the console and the clickiness of the buttons
Feathers are ruffled ITT.
It's possible to enjoy something and be disappointed about an aspect at the same time.

I mean I don't wanna believe you but lately it feels like it ._.
To be honest I get the complaints. Switch UI was something complained about for ages, and it is noticeable, but you get used to it. And it's better to have more RAM for games than the UI.
Not specifically software development in particular, but I do have over 10 years experience building user interfaces.
"UI elements may change" is a very vague statement that could mean a lot of things. It doesn't suggest the interface will be 4K at launch which is all I said.
It's entirely possible the Xbox UI hasn't even been designed to scale beyond 1080p to save on asset resource size, but I doubt that'll be the case due to future proofing. Depends if they intend to redesign it again once they phase out the Xbox One.

I honestly can't believe the Xbox One X boots up with that 4k splash and then gets right into 1080p
I just cant see the problem to be honest . Now if they cant add dynamic themes or ui is still slow we bave have a issue . 1080p ui is the last thing I care about
When everything else I use is 4K+ and increasingly more stuff will be, it sticks out. People buy expensive TVs and want their peripherals to best take advantage of it. Cool if you don't care but easy to see why people would and if you don't care now, you may feel differently in a few years.
1080p UI on Series X? Lol what? So weird considering how often they tout the native 4k experience.
they wouldn't prioritize 120hz over 4k for something like UI, it would have very little benefit.
I'm sure they'll have it set to 4k by the time launch comes by. Don't see a reason why they wouldn't.
It did on One X which is why MS decided against it and save it for the games.
Right but it doesn't mean that it WONT receive a rez bump.
All we have to do is wait.
That was what they said about the Xbox One X , people are assuming it's the same here.
Surely they made the art and whatnot at higher resolution than 1080p so they could patch this right?
For a team that seems to so throughly have its shit together, I think that is why it's so interesting to me. It's such a weird inconsistency.
If we are talking about next gen consoles, then that source doesn't exist.
Sorry that's what I meant, I was just interested in reading what was said about the One X back then.
I pray that someone will check me if I ever have strong feelings about what resolution my video game console's UI renders at.
I didn't say otherwise. Clarification from MS is definitely needed.
Weird that you rushed in to discuss something you admittedly care so little about. Valuable.
Hmmm... this is a tough one for me. The UI not being 4K is kind of a bummer, but on the other hand if devs get an additional GB of ram for games as a result then its kind of ok...? I feel torn haha. Definitely not the end of the world though.
I was joking, though a UI running at 120hz is probably nice.
Is that known that it would save that much? Because I'll always go for the 1440p UI in that case.
If the other choice is depriving devs of 1 whole GB of RAM (that's way more than I thought!) I'll take 1080p 7 days a week and this is not a hill worth dying on.
One question comes to mind. Does the interface use the uber-fast 560GBps ram or the slower ram? Being "just" an interface, I would hope the latter would be more than enough. Do we know if that is the case?

Look I really don't want to start a whole thing because you seem nice, and I like your avatar.
But you did kind of.
It doesn't matter.
We'll find out in 20-something days.
