What is this Blurry Screen Issue about?
Several Steam Deck players have reported a doomsday scenario when they opened Sonic Frontiers for the first time. Blurriness. A dreary, 2000’s-console-like blurriness.

No worries. We won’t have you fiddling around the game’s code or going on a scavaging hunt for the infinity stones to fix Sonic Frontiers’ blurry screen issue.

How to solve Sonic Frontiers Blurry Screen Issue?
To solve the blurry screen issue in Sonic Frontiers, you have to open the game’s Settings, head to Graphics, and make necessary changes to the resolution.
For some reason, the game’s resolution sets to 200p by default. This issue makes it look hideous and as if Sega designed the game for a Nintendo DS-style screen.
To fully exploit the potential of the Steam Deck, you must verify that the resolution is set to 1200×800 in the Settings menu. After refreshing the game, everything will look much better than before. Hello, 4k!
What is causing all this blurry screen fuzz is just a resolution problem. It will likely be fixed in the next update. But as the game has just been released, it might take a while for the developers to look into it.
Sonic Frontiers is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
