Xbox Series S Fuzzy and Blurry Low Quality Resolution
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Ever since the 8.5.0 patch came out to live servers two months ago, The resolution and graphics quality in the game are blurry, fuzzy and low quality on Xbox Series S consoles (apparently affects multiple consoles but not sure which ones specifically.) This resolution bug has happened before when the 7.7.0 patch (unreal engine 5 update) came out, but then it got fixed. Now the bug is back after the 8.5.0 patch went live, and it's still affecting the most recent 8.5.2 patch. Turning the post processing FSR setting on and putting it at 100% helps the issue somewhat but it's still noticable regardless of if the setting is turned on or off. Even more noticeable if it's turned off.
Killer and survivors' faces in the lobby/ in game store will be all fuzzy, their eyes will be pretty much impossible to see clearly cause of how fuzzy the screen looks. Auras from perks and add-ons will be hard to see from a distance, especially if they're small auras like First Aid Sprays on the ground and such, and effects like clowns afterpiece tonic and antidote bottles, fire effects, The Plague's smoke effects from her weapon, bone chill event weapons, etc. will all be low quality and fuzzy looking. The game isn't unplayable but it still puts some strain on the eyes.
It's worse quality and more noticeable while in the lobby, while in the in game store, while having the post processing, FSR super sampling setting toggled off, and while in the loading screen when starting up the game, but it's definitely affecting in-game/in the trial visuals and effects too.
PLATFORM: Xbox Series S
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: Just boot the game up on an Xbox Series S console (apparently this bug effects multiple consoles and not just xbox, though I'm not sure specifically which ones they are) and the resolution will be noticably lower quality than normal. This seems to be the same resolution bug as the one that happened when the 7.7.0 patch went live, before it got fixed later on. Now it's back.
These two images are from Xbox Series S, with post processing on (first image) and off (second image) at 4k resolution after the 8.5.0 update went live two months ago. This low quality screen/resolution bug is still affecting the latest patch, 8.5.2, on certain consoles.

I also have some screenshots. The top one is from 8.4.2 (i think?). The bottom is from 8.5.0. Meg is a little blurry.
Same here. Top is before the update, bottom is after 8.5.0.
having same issue on series s
I also have been experiencing the same thing on my Xbox Series S. I have some screenshots as well. The first is my current graphics after the new update (blurry and very low quality) versus my typical great graphics quality before the new update
Same thing here. Makes it really difficult to see in darker maps as everything blurs together.
Hi all! Greetings from Brazil.
I had noticed this since the last update, but I thought it was just my imagination. However, after playing more intensely, I realized that the graphics have actually gotten much worse on my Xbox Series S since the last update. Please fix this! I love DBD too much to let this continue. 🤧
Thank you.
I have this same problem ever since the 8.5.0 update. This was the same problem when the Greenville map was released - the resolution is significantly lower, auras in-game are incredibly blurry and undefined looking, and features are noticeably blurred in lobby. I also am an Xbox series S player!
Here It's still blurry here, for you too? How long it takes to solve something simple
Yeah, it's still blurry and fuzzy for me. BHVR probably has too much on their plate to be worrying about console specific bugs right now, so the best thing we can do is just be patient, wait and hope they fix it soon. Not much else we can do I'm afraid.
The more people that upvote the bug report, the better chance we have of BHVR noticing it and working on a fix if they haven't already.
it genuinely hurts my eyes and it’s been an issue for almost 2 months now. They are actively losing the series s playerbase how has this not been patched yet. Rediculous
We just have to hope they fix it in the next patch, they fixed it when it happened before so we have that sliver of hope at least.
This screenshot is with FSR on, sharpness 100%
8.5.2 patch
Here's another couple of screenshots I took a few minutes ago.
The first images are with FSR turned on and at 100% sharpness.
The copy image below the first ones are with FSR toggled off.
The resolution problem is worse with FSR toggled off.
I'm on Xbox Series S as well, and I'm experiencing the same issue. Used to play almost daily, but a small bug like this is keeping me away of enjoying the game.
Here's a few screenshots from when I went against a Clown player. Here you can see how blurry and pixely the afterpiece tonic clouds are.
Really? I thought it was an Xbox series only issue but I guess it affects different platforms after all.
I think if you did, they'd just mark it as duplicate.
