It is now easy to capture screenshots on Xbox One and share them online thanks to the new system update. The screenshots captured through Xbox One are of superior quality compared to those captured through PlayStation 4. However, both the consoles compress the images when sharing them on online platforms. Compression refers to the way Xbox One resizes the images before sharing them. The Xbox One’s compression feature ensures that the image quality is not affected much after it has been resized. In some instances, the resized image may lower in quality thus appearing blurry. However, you need to follow some steps to get the highest quality screenshots.
