Microsoft is testing 1080p streaming resolution for its Xbox Game Pass Cloud Gaming service, according to media reports.
According to Windows Central, the cloud gaming service is currently available in 720p streams but an upgrade to 1080p would bring it in line with fellow service Google Stadia.
The improvement in visual quality likely comes as part of an infrastructure upgrade that involves replacing the older Xbox One S server blades with more powerful Xbox Series X boards.
“Recent rumors have also suggested that Microsoft has been looking to upgrade its cloud streaming services from Xbox One to Series X architecture sometime this year,” the report said on Thursday.
