The current in-development version of Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One is running at 1080p, creative director Brian Horton has confirmed. A preview from NX Gamer suggested that a recent game demo was outputting at 900p, but Horton clarified on Twitter that it was indeed running at full-HD.

Resolution for the final retail version of Rise of the Tomb Raider has yet to be confirmed. However, Horton said in a previous interview with GamingBolt that developer Crystal Dynamics was targeting 1080p.

Rise of the Tomb Raider should be a better-looking game overall than its 2013 predecessor thanks to it running on more powerful hardware. One other area of graphical improvement is in-game hair, which will look more realistic thanks to the game's incorporation of new TressFX technology advancements.

Rise of the Tomb Raider launches this November for Xbox One and Xbox 360 as a timed exclusive for those platforms. Just today, we learned that the action-adventure game will come to PC and PlayStation 4 in 2016.
