Google responds to Stadia 4K streaming issues

Google has responded to complaints from gamers about the lack of full 4K support in several Stadia titles.

When the cloud gaming service was originally announced, the company said that Stadia would offer full 4K support at 60 frames per second, provided the user had a sufficient Internet connection.

However, after its official launch on 19 November, a number of reports indicated that certain games are running at a lower resolution than the 4,096 x 2,160 Google said Stadia would deliver.

No.

In an analysis of Red Dead Redemption 2 on Stadia, Digital Foundry discovered that the title runs at a native 2,560 x 1,440 resolution. The Chromecast Ultra then upscales this to 4K.
