Witness Pyre in All Its 4K Glory!

By Greg Kasavin July 20th, 2017

Pyre debuts next week on Steam and PlayStation 4! Our third game is a party-based RPG featuring our biggest campaign ever, filled with unique characters we cannot wait for you to meet. You can get a taste of what’s in store in our new launch trailer:

Meet your fellow exiles in Pyre!

We also wanted to take a moment to reveal that Pyre features support for 4K-resolution Ultra HDdisplays! Our previous games topped out at 1080p on console and PC, so this is a huge change for us. If you have a 4K display, you’ll be able to experience the artwork at an unprecedented level of sharpness and clarity. Though if you don't, we think you’ll find the game looks stunning, nonetheless!

Pyre: 1080p vs. 4K Comparison

The top image is standard 1080p. The bottom image is 4K Ultra HD. Both are in-game screenshots taken from an early scene in Pyre.

Now, this is Pyre in 4K! Click to expand, then click again to view actual size!

For the PlayStation 4 version of the game, 4K support is built-in and should work automatically with compatible displays, if you're running the game on a PlayStation 4 Pro console.

For the Steam version of the game, a 4K resolution option should show up automatically in the game settings, using compatible displays. The game should autodetect your desktop resolution when you start it.

We love being able to see the work of our three talented artists Jen, Josh, and Camilo in high definition like this, and we hope you'll enjoy this aspect, too. For more information about the game, visit our Pyre FAQ. Until Tuesday!!
