Microsoft Edge Canary now comes with Clarity Boost to make Xbox Cloud Gaming titles look better than ever.
If you’re someone who only uses Microsoft Edge to download another browser, you might want to rethink your habits, as it’s about to become the best tool for enjoying Xbox’s Cloud Gaming service. Microsoft has just announced that a new Cloud Gaming feature called Clarity Boost is coming exclusively to its first-party browser – and you can try it out today if you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber by downloading Microsoft Edge Canary. Clarity Boost does what it says on the tin: it makes the stream’s image clearer and more detailed for the player. You can see what this means practically from the picture below. The character model is overall less blurry with clarity boost switched on; their facial hair and scars look more defined, and their skin glistens in a way that makes it appear more realistic. We aren’t quite sure how Microsoft is managing to pull this off, specifically – all it’s said publicly is that the feature uses “client-side scaling improvements” – however, we suspect this tool is similar to one you might find on most modern TVs.
