Here’s How To Enable ‘Very High’ Quality Mode Windows 10 Game Streaming On Xbox One
So you’ve got an Xbox One console and you also just so happen to have a kickass rig that’s running Windows 10. Chances are that you’ve already tried Xbox One game streaming to your rig, either to see how if the feature works or if it’s worth the effort. If you gave game streaming a try and weren’t impressed with the the “High” image quality setting, a hidden “Very High” image quality setting has been unearthed that greatly improves visuals across the board.
The Very High setting was discovered by curious reddit users, and it definitely goes a long way towards making games less blurry. However, enabling the feature dramatically increases the strain on your network. So you better have a beefy wireless connection to stream over or stick with a hardwired network for the best results to avoid constant buffering.
