With Windows 10 and Xbox One, a lot has been brought to the table<\/a>, especially with the Xbox App which allows games from the Xbox One to be streamed to a PC or laptop of your choosing. Of course, both the console and PC have to be on the same network.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest issues that currently plagues streaming via the Xbox App is the quality of the stream.<\/p>\n

Many users have experienced low quality visuals when streaming from their Xbox Ones, even on the highest visual setting available to them.<\/p>\n

Miraculously, some folks over at Reddit<\/a>, in the Xbox One subreddit, found a method of making the stream higher quality with a substantial difference.<\/p>\n

LazyGamer<\/a> tested out the method, providing the steps below, and came out with some very promising results.<\/p>\n

Firstly, remember to close the Xbox App before you use this method. Here are the steps they followed:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open File Explorer, copying and pasting\u00a0this location:\u00a0C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\<\/li>\n
  2. Then open a\u00a0folder starting with \u201cMicrosoft.XboxApp\u2026\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Following this, open the folder called “LocalState”<\/li>\n
  4. Within this folder, right click the file called \u201cuserconsoledata\u201d and select “Open With” choosing either WordPad or NotePad<\/li>\n
  5. Change the following: “<IsInternalPreview>false<\/IsInternalPreview><\/b>”
    \ninto \u00a0“<IsInternalPreview>true<\/IsInternalPreview><\/b>“.<\/li>\n
  6. Finally, open the Xbox App and begin streaming once more. Simply click the the ((o)) button \u00a0in the top right of the stream window and select “Very High”. You’re now ready to go!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Reports show that this method does, indeed, increase the visual quality of streaming from the Xbox One to a desktop or laptop considerably.<\/p>\n

    What the method appears to do is remove the restrictions placed on network bandwidth, when\u00a0the Xbox App streams.<\/p>\n

    So streaming on “Very High” or “High” with this method could benefit Xbox One gamers greatly if they want to stream.<\/p>\n

    Below is a comparison from the game\u00a0World of Tanks\u00a0<\/em>on “High” and “Very High” with the above method from the same Reddit thread<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    High<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    \"Xbox<\/a><\/p>\n

    Very High<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    \"Xbox<\/a><\/p>\n

    As you can see there is a slight visual upgrade for a stream from “High” to “Very High”.<\/p>\n

    It is impressive that such a simple tweak can get very promising\u00a0results. More power to the people we say!<\/p>\n
