Stray is an aesthetically pleasing game set around gloomy and neon cityscapes. This may be due to the TAA forced setting coded in this video game. TAA is an abbreviation for Temporal Anti-Aliasing, which smoothes the resolution of games. But there has to be some freedom in that, right? With the TAA setting enabled, there is also a blur effect to smooth out the resolution. While some players like smooth resolution and graphics, some players prefer sharp and crisp resolution. So, here is our guide on how to disable the TAA setting on Stray.
