Cloud Gaming Updates

User-Selected Resolution

We’re excited to introduce enhanced stream quality for select titles, including support for up to 1440p. In line with this upgrade, we’re enabling you to choose your preferred video quality when streaming games by giving you more control over the experience.

User Selected Resolution allows players to manually choose their preferred streaming resolution before launching a game. This has been a top player request, and we’re excited to roll it out in alignment with support for higher stream quality (up to 1440p for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers). This ensures players can tailor their subscription to match how and where they play.
