PlanetSide 2 creative director Matt Higby has confirmed that the MMO shooter will run at 1080p on Sony's PlayStation 4 console, IGN reports. Higby made the announcement during a stream of the game, noting that optimization for the console version is ongoing.

Previously expected to launch on Sony's latest next-gen console in early 2014, the MMO shooter has been rather quiet on when we can expect to load up and roll out with thousands of other soldiers in Sony's sci-fi universe. IGN's report also mentioned that hands-on time will be available at E3 this year, so hopefully that means public availability is close by.

PlanetSide 2 is currently available for PC. AusGamers will be on the ground at E3 this year so hopefully we'll be able to hear more on when to expect Sony's sci-fi shooter for the PlayStation 4.
