[XBOX SERIES X] Blurry UI throughout the whole game

I'm playing Battlefield 2042 on an Xbox Series X, with a 4k 60Hz monitor setup. The in-game graphics are crisp, but the UI is pretty low-res, with a lot of blur around the edges of text and icons. It doesn't make the game unplayable, but it's very much noticeable. I'd just like to see the UI and HUD in 4k as I see the rest of the game. This problem persists in all areas of the game: the in-game HUD, settings, menus etc. This has been a problem since the beta and launch, and I have seen no improvement. I have tried adjusting my Xbox display settings and my monitor display settings to no avail. Any help is much appreciated.

    Hey @willpin123,

    I don't think that this is an issue or a bug, but working as designed. Especially if you notice that the in-game graphics are crisp, it looks like the UI just doesn't scale with the overall 'actual' in-game resolution.

    I will pass on the feedback to the teams. 🙂

    @EA_Leeuw Was anything done about this?
    The issue isn’t so much in the settings screens - it’s most noticeable in game.

    All icons and text have a cloud around them making them almost impossible to see/ read.

    I’ve messed with ALL settings and cannot resolve the issue.
    The issue can be slightly improved by changing the colour shade of the icons but it in no way solves it.
    I think the issue lies with the game design.
    This issue never existed in previous BF games.
    I’ve spoken with a few people and they all have the same issue.

    The issue is most obvious when text and icons have a light coloured backdrop, like sky or snow.
    If you have a dark backdrop the issue goes away and everything is easy to read & see.

    I’m quite sure nothing will be done about this but you might want to take note for future games.
    As a reference, this issue does not exist in BFV, or any other previous BF game as far as I can recall. But it does in 2042.

    All world icons are blurry on light backdrops. No matter what settings you adjust. 

    Now here is a screen shot from BFV.

    No blur.
