In context: If yous've already tried Xbox Cloud Gaming on browsers, maybe you lot've noticed that image quality isn't ever the best, deteriorating the overall gaming experience. Besides looking blurry more than frequently than information technology should, the colors also tend to be a bit off. A new feature Microsoft has been working on promises to amend these shortcomings.

Named Clarity Heave, the new feature results from the articulation work between the Xbox Cloud Gaming and Edge browser teams, hence why it just works with Microsoft's browser. This feature promises to better visual quality in games streamed over Edge browser via multiple customer-side scaling improvements.

To try Clarity Heave, you'll need to have Microsoft Border Canary version 96.01033.0 or afterwards. You may download it from the Border Canary aqueduct and confirm the version by accessing border://settings/help.

For those who don't want to download Edge Canary, Microsoft states Clarity Boost will be available to all Edge users sometime next twelvemonth.

Considering the new Edge browser is based on the Chromium engine, other browsers running on it should also exist capable of benefiting from Clarity Boost. However, we can't find any reason for Microsoft to do it. By existence exclusive to Edge, the browser actually has a key feature that other browsers don't, which might be reason enough for some gamers to offset using Microsoft'due south browser.
