Will Stadia ever support a sharpening filter?

Will Stadia ever support a sharpening filter like GeforceNOW does? The games look so unsharp on Stadia without a this filter. I think we need image sharpening!!!

Hi @Megatron99

I believe that this can be a great feedback!

You should submit from Stadia app or Browser (icon profile > feedback)!

The games like just fine to me?

On what device are your playing Stadia and do you have Pro subscription?
If you are playing on the Chrome browser you should check if VP9 is enabled and available.
When you are playing without VP9 things tend to look blurry.

has nothing to do with my browser or Video codec. I'm just used to Reshade & Sharpening filters on PC and i can't live without it. On Geforce Now the image looks much better because it has sharpening FXs!

uups, okay, seems that my video card doesn't support VP9 decoding. Btw i am using Edge Browser and just FullHD for Stadia! (tried edge with hardware acceleration off but then its reeallly blurry...so hardware acceleration looks definitely better but i still would like to have a sharpening filter)

You always use a unofficial plugin like Stadia Enhanced to force VP9 (your CPU will take a hit but mostly you will be fine).

If you still like this feature you can send feedback like @AndroiFy explained.

yes, i tried both codecs with Stadia Enhanced but i must really say GFN looks much better (1080p). I compared both with Destiny 2. Maybe its because GFN let's us change video settings on some games. Stadia should support this too together with some fx filters applyable. For me Stadia isn't worth it right now because of image quality!

I must say I don't play in HD so maybe that is another thing that isn't helping Stadia right now.

When I am gaming on the PC I am forcing 1440p on my HD screen which shows a sharper image.
You can force this resolution with the unofficial Stadia Enhanced plugin.
And when playing on the Chromecast Ultra I am playing at 4k.
