Since March, Google has been promising that its streaming Stadia platform would be capable of full 4K, 60fps gameplay (for users with a robust Internet connection and $10/month Stadia Pro subscription). But technical analyses since launch have shown that some of the service’s highest profile games aren’t hitting that mark.
A Digital Foundry analysis of Red Dead Redemption 2 on Stadia, for instance, found that the game actually runs at a native 2560×1440 resolution, which is then upscaled to the 4K standard of 4096×2160 via the Chromecast Ultra.
