Microsoft Introduces Clarity Boost For Xbox Cloud Gaming On Edge

The new feature is currently available on Edge Canary and hopes to improve the image quality of streaming games, and will come to all Edge browsers soon.

The future of streaming is an interesting one, something that is coming in some form one way or another. A lot of the big players are investing in it, with maybe the biggest and most prominent being Microsoft with their Xbox Cloud Gaming project. But there are still a lot of challenges to cloud gaming, specifically quality over certain internet connections. It’s something that will have to be addressed as the technology progresses, and today Microsoft has introduced something along those lines.

There’s been some rumors that Microsoft would be introducing something for Cloud gaming soon, and now it seems that will be Clarity Boost. It will use client-side scaling improvements to improve the visual quality of streamed games. You can read more details via the official blog through here.

As of now, the Clarity Boost is only available by downloading Microsoft Edge Canary, but will eventually be available through all versions of the Microsoft Edge browser next year, including presumably the Xbox Series X/S one where the service recently launched.
