September 1 is when Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will be released for a number of platforms, and it’s no doubt that properly equipped PCs will be able to extract the most out of the game in terms of visual performance. But as usual, console gamers are eager to know the resolution and frame-rate details of their preferred platforms.
It can be noted that the PS4 from Sony will see Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain running at 1080p full HD resolution at the sweet 60fps frame-rate. As for the Xbox One version, although it will bear the 60fps frame-rate, its native resolution will be set at 900p. This won’t stop the console from up-scaling it to 1080p though.
Coming to the last-gen consoles, both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 will run MGS 5 at up-scaled 720p HD resolution at 30fps. The maximum resolution that can be reached while playing the game on a well equipped PC is 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is also known as the 4K or UHD standard in other terms. At its peak, this title from publisher Konami will be able to offer a frame-rate of 60fps.
