Several months ago I reported that Battlefront II would be 4K on Xbox One, but over the course of development, things changed a little.
I'd read on internal marketing proposals that EA's upcoming Star Wars Battlefront II would be "4K" on Xbox One X, and was a candidate for showcasing the console's power in future marketing materials. Obviously, with Sony having marketing rights to the game for PlayStation, that info became slightly problematic, but the 4K resolution aspect seemed to hold true.
Later, I'd heard that the resolution or, surprisingly, the frame rate, wasn't finalized, and EA and developer DICE were trying a range of configurations on both the X and the PS4 Pro to figure out how best to present the next entry in the franchise.
Now that Battlefront II's Xbox One store listing has been updated (thanks for the tip, @btontour1), it looks as though it will at least feature 4K on the Xbox One X, with an unlocked variable refresh rate (VRR).
At Gamescom 2017, the PlayStation 4 Pro version of Battlefront II was presented at 1080p full HD, at 60 frames per second (via DigitalFoundry). With the Xbox One X version being capable of full 4K with the option of variable refresh rates, it sounds as though Battlefront II might support multiple modes across consoles.
To speculate, perhaps if you select UHD modes, you lose the promise of solid 60 FPS gameplay, trading raw visual opulence for smoothness. I can't imagine those with the X who don't have 4K displays will be pleased with the idea of being forced into using VRR when a solid "enhanced" sub-UHD 60 FPS-locked mode could be achieved instead.
We've reached out to EA for more information on their plans for the Xbox versions of Battlefront II.
Xbox head Phil Spencer has often stated that Microsoft wants the Xbox One X to showcase the best console versions of each and every game, and it certainly looks as though Battlefront II will be among the titles that exemplify that goal.
Star Wars Battlefront II targets a November 17, 2017 launch on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Low key might be game of the year
nikkas gon sleep on this just because the first one left such a bad taste in everybody mouth...
i'm a huge star wars fan and played original battlefront and didn't cop the first one but I'm pretty excited for this one. Looks like they made a FULL game this time around.
If everything they showed in that trailer is available Day One I will buy it immediately.
But I feel like a lot of that stuff will be locked being a pay wall or DLC.

I thought it was reported no season pass?
No season pass this time but seeing as ea is the publisher, I'm sure there will be microtransactions
Everything shown in the trailer is in the base game.
The multi gonna be trash still. It will be equally dissapointing outside if campaign
Just get clapped up and have a seat...you buying it
