Exclusive improvements on Xbox One X
These are the general improvements for Xbox One, but given the proximity of Xbox One X, this too has received its share of improvements and additions by the time November 7 rolls around:
- Ability to move games to external hard drives: which will be needed given the size of the games.
- Bet on 4K: We may preload 4K material for some games.
- Exclusive Listing: There is a separate listing in the store for Xbox One X games.
- 4K Game DVR: We can now capture video in 1080p using Game DVR on Xbox One and in 4K HDR on Xbox One X with a maximum of 10 minutes if we do it on the internal drive or 60 if we use an external hard drive.
- Mixer will now allow us to Stream at 1080p.
For now and after a few minutes of testing, the system is more than fluid and does not present relevant problems. The image and the interface are friendlier and it will be a matter of time to fully explore everything it hides. Have you already tried the update on your console?
