Electronic Arts has confirmed that Need for Speed: Rivals, its upcoming racing game, will run at a 1080p (1920x1080) resolution on both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One next-gen consoles, and at a locked 30fps framerate.

Need for Speed: Rivals uses the new Frostbite 3 engine to produce some remarkable visuals across many different platforms, ranging from PC to current-gen consoles like PS3 or Xbox 360, to next-gen ones like the PS4 and Xbox One.

In a special post on the PS blog, EA Community Manager Jessica Damerst confirmed that the new racing game would run at a 1080p full HD resolution and with a locked framerate of 30fps on both the PS4 and Xbox One.

She didn't say whether that resolution was a native one or it was upscaled from lower ones like 900p (1600x900) or 720p (1280x720), meaning a technical analysis is needed to determine just what the true resolution will be.
