The required resolution for certain assets NEEDS to be upped
The most obvious example is the horizontal capsule image, which appears whenever a game is your most recently played. It looks fine in the desktop view because it's so small, but whenever you switch to BPM it becomes extremely obvious because the 460x215 asset is being expanded to the same size as the more prominent 600x900 vertical capsule image.

Personally I'd suggest adding a required higher-resolution version of this asset at 1926x900, to be used when switching to BPM, which is the same aspect ratio (or about as close as possible) but at the same size as the vertical capsule will appear to be the same sharpness. If the asset must be the same in desktop and BPM, then at least up the resolution to 920x430, which should look decent on lower-resolution displays and would be a major upgrade for higher-resolution ones.

The issue is also present, to a lesser extent, for the hero image visible on each game's library page. The current resolution of 1920x620 is pixel-perfect for 1080p displays, but becomes increasingly blurry at higher resolutions. I think that the best resolution for this asset would be 3840x1240, since it would be pixel-perfect at 4k, perfectly downscale to 1080p, and be still look markedly better at 1440p

There is already the 3840x1240 option for hero images, but some publishers upload 1920x620 heroes instead. That's the problem with all this library art - it's up to devs or publishers to upload/update it, but many don't bother or upload low quality/overly compressed images. You can update standards all you can, but your library is still going to be a mess to some extent.
