Last time I wrote about our plans for 4K on PS4 Pro and today they are reality. The game was updated and the 4K support for PS4 Pro is now available. We were able to deliver true native 4K at 60fps for Neon Chrome! The game renders in true native resolution without any upscaling. We
We’ve been waiting for a nice opportunity to add proper 4K support for our games. Now it seems like the PS4 Pro will be a nice platform to start on! We are already running Neon Chrome on 4K on PC development environment. We’d like to build proper PC 4k support as well, but we’d need

We’ll be also publishing more articles about the development of Neon Chrome in the near future. The article
This week we’ve been working on things listed below. The rest of the week will probably be spent with console stuff plus further general fixing and tweaking. We also need to start thinking about the trailer and other marketing stuff as we start to close on the yet unannounced Steam release date. We’re researching mod/ucg
Neon Chrome mostly runs on procedurally generated levels as the standard levels in game are all products of algorithms.
