We are aiming for 4K and you bet your butthole it'll be 60FPS. https://t.co/gZB6nfzwJI
— Team Meat (@SuperMeatBoy) June 4, 2018We are aiming to support 4K 60 FPS. Half of our assets are vector, which means its easy to do 4K, the other half are not so we're exploring how to make it look as good as possible in 4K. The game runs well at 4K 60 FPS in our initial tests, but if the end result is a 4K game that doesn't run at 60 FPS, we'll keep it at 1080p since that frame rate is so important to us and what people expect. If we can pull it off, it'll be 4K 60 FPS on all the consoles and configurations where it works well.
Hopefully the game will run at 4K 60 FPS on Xbox One X, but frame rate is always more important than resolution. Maintaining 60 FPS throughout the tense levels should be the main priority. We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more about the game or get word of a concrete release date.

Supply Side is SuperMicrosoft supply chain 'getting back on rails,' says Satya Nadella
Speaking in a recent interview, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had some positive news about Microsoft's hardware supply chain, potentially giving hope that it can follow through with Xbox Series X and Surface launches later this year despite enduring shocks during the coronavirus pandemic.
After many years in development, Team Meat’s Super Meat Boy Forever is actually coming. Though it started as a mobile title, the sequel to the acclaimed and notoriously difficult platformer will be heading to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
Though Edmund McMillen isn’t involved, Tommy Refenes is still very much bringing the tale of Meat Boy and Bandage Girl to life with randomly generated levels, a constant running mechanic and scaling difficulties. With Super Meat Boy debuting during the heyday of the Xbox 360 and heading to other platforms, we spoke to Refenes about the war between this generation’s most powerful consoles, namely the PS4 Pro and upcoming Xbox One X.
Super Meat Boy Forever Xbox One Reviews
When asked about the “war”, Refenes said, “Is it a war? I kinda feel like they’re just putting out more powerful versions of themselves because they know that’s what their fans are looking forward to. I don’t think many people are going to switch from PS4 to Xbox One X or Xbox One to PS4 Pro…
“I think most people are just going to upgrade based on personal preference. People like their consoles and they’ll probably stay with what they like. At the end of the day though it’s not so much about the consoles it’s about the games and it seems like most AAA games are on both. So…if it’s a war it kinda feels like everyone is winning.”
He’s not Wrong. While the PS4 has titles like Nier: Automata, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Nioh and Persona 5 and the Xbox One has Forza Motorsport 7, Halo Wars 2 and Cuphead, there are a number of great third party titles on both platforms. If players on either console have something fun to play, then that’s all that matters.
