MICROSOFT ON WHY MINECRAFT IS 720P ON NINTENDO SWITCH

According to TIME, Microsoft confirmed the Switch version's lack of 1080p support, even when docked, isn't because the system isn't powerful enough to handle it, but rather due to issues with the shift between resolutions when switching from docked to undocked mode.

While Microsoft has not confirmed that 1080p support will be one day be available for the Switch version, the outlet notes that it's possible the game could feature a resolution boost when playing in docked mode at some point in the future.

Minecraft released for Nintendo Switch last week on May 11 digitally. A physical version for the title for Switch owners will be available at some point in the future.

The Switch version features the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack, which was previously released for the Wii U version. Check out IGN's interview with Damon Baker for more on the pack, which includes Mario-themed skins, textures, music and more.
