If the image quality of a game you're streaming isn't quite up to standard, Xbox's new Clarity Boost feature, which promises to boost the sharpness of titles running on Cloud Gaming streams in the Microsoft Edge browser, could be the answer.

Xbox is releasing a new feature for the Microsoft Edge browser that improves the quality of its loud gaming streams. Clarity Boost improves overall image quality by using "a set of client-side scaling adjustments" that consume a little more processing power on your end via the Edge browser.

It is basically an optional optimization that sharpens the edges of incoming streams. The extra processing is performed by the Edge browser at the user's end, as Clarity Boost uses "a series of client-side scaling improvements."

Players who are using Microsoft Edge Canary, an experimental version of Edge that permits new features to be evaluated before being distributed to all Edge users, can now use the function. Clarity Boost is currently only available to a small percentage of Edge users, Xbox says that the feature will be available to all Microsoft Edge users by 2022.

Anyone interested in getting a head start on the functionality should download Microsoft Edge Canary, then go into the Xbox Cloud Gaming site and start a game.

To turn it on, players must go to the more actions' (...) menu and select the Enable Clarity Boost option.

Xbox Cloud Gaming for consoles was announced by Microsoft earlier this month. It's now available in 25 locations for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S owners with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, with Brazil to come.

"This feature will initially roll out to a subset of Xbox gamers with our November release, and then scale to all gamers in supported markets over the coming weeks," said Catherine Gluckstein, head of Xbox Cloud Gaming.
