Anthem is one of the biggest releases of 2019. It is an online multiplayer action RPG currently in development at Bioware (the studio that gave us hits like Dragon Age and Mass Effect series). The hype surrounding the game is pretty massive, and the lead producer Michael Gamble is making sure that it does not die down by answering fan queries related to the game on Twitter. In one of the recent conversations, Michael Gamble revealed the Resolution and FPS at which the game is going to run on the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X.

According to the details revealed by Michael Gamble, Anthem will not run at 1080p/60FPS, and the reason behind it is that the development team has currently priortized visual. He added that the team might be prioritizing frame rate in future (but nothing is guaranteed).
No, we’ve prioritized visuals. We can look at prioritizing frame rate maybe as future thing https://t.co/WcLqgeAFb9
