Xbox One X


Recommended Posts

Apparently the Titanfall 2 X Enhanced patch is having issues so you might want to put a hold on that until it gets another patch if you planned to play it.

 

I hate embedded ###### in my forum posts so fix the link yourself. :p

I already finished it on PC so no loss.

Waiting on my X to be delivered. Had a bit of an issue with Amazon getting it to me today, for some reason it was going to come on Thursday even though I preordered it the minute it went up and it was supposed to be Release Day Delivery. So I reached out to Amazon, asked what was going on, and explained I did not think I should have to pay the $12 for One Day Delivery to get it today. The customer service rep Chris I talked to agree, and credited my account $12 so I could choose 1 Day Shipping.

So it is on it's way to my house. Already have everything prepped on my external, so it should be a pretty painless process setting it up as well.

 

Looking forward to finally play Forza 7. I only played an hour or so waiting to play it on the X instead.

Mine hasn't even shipped from Amazon yet.  I also spoke to a customer service rep and he too will make it a next day delivery; fingers crossed I get it tomorrow.  Either Amazon or Microsoft dropped the ball on this.

Oh! I must apologise to UPS, despite the tracking number saying tomorrow, it just turned up. I'm going to have to play with the console a bit later though as i have school run to do and ###### like that!

 

EDIT: Couldn't resist nipping in to the house to have a look, just took it out of the box and it's small, small and solid feeling, quite heavy. Unplugged my external from my old XB1 and plugged it in to the new one and within minutes it knew who i was, signed me in to Xbox, signed me in to my home network and started downloading an update.

I grabbed my Project Scorpio Edition from GameStop last night...  decided to give things a run... 

 

Setup: if you have a current Xbox One and saved a config file to an external HDD, it will grab the settings, and perform a 730MB or so update ...

 

Once you are past the update, you are free to tinker as you like.  I hooked up another external HDD for 4K capture to the external

 

The main Dash still appears to be 1080p or so.  This must be the compromise when Mike Ybarra and his team giving devs 9GB of RAM for games instead of 8GB. This is a smart move if you ask me.

 

Video capture on YouTube, or Twitcher, or Mixer even does NOT do the 1X any justice.  This consolse 

 

People say power doesnt matter... <----- THIS IS A LIE... GEARS 4 has a whole new level of detail...

 

The already Legendary Halo3  look even more LEGENDARY' ER... 


Halo 5 ... seems like a completely different game, based on visuals alone.

If I don't feel like waiting for Forza 7 to download, can I buy a physical copy and play it without having to load the disc?

You can grab the disc and install and play, But if you want 4K benefits the assets are another download since the game came before the X and an additional download. Would just grab physical to save at least half that massive download and actually have a physical item of worth to :)

 

Mines still set for delivery today, hasn't arrived yet :(

Everything looks great.  No, it’s not perfect on day one but...99% of it is!

 

The Crew still looks a little...off.  I doubt it’ll get an update but who knows?

Had some pop in on Wildlands but it still looks much better.

I’ve been loading up a little bit of everything and can’t see any reason to go back to my PC except for titles that don’t have an X1X patch yet.  

 

Rock on.

And since me and my mates will be using this as our online multiplat machine now I decided to treat myself and grab a new pair of A50's for it, been waiting to open. I've had the A50 Sony pair for my PS4 for awhile now and best headset ever used couldn't fault them.

Not had much time yet, so just been flicking through various games and the Insects tech demo, and it's all very pretty and powerful. It's pretty enough and smooth enough that it'll more than likely replace my need to go to PC for that extra oopmth.

 

Got Planet Earth II on UHD HDR, so going to start watching that tonight :D

I'm going through my usual buyer's remorse after a new purchase. Spent 3 hours downloading Forza 7 last night and while it did, I loaded up a few games I hadn't played in a while since my XB1 just gathered dust. Diablo 3 was on the enhanced list but looked exactly the same to me. Same for Rocket League.

 

The overall experience of the console is pretty positive as it is very fast and Atmos is stunning.

That was my first experience when I got my 4K setup. You'll love it. I loved the first Planet Earth and II was absolutely stunning in 4K.

You can do network transfer also if you have both hooked up to the same network, no need for an external :).

 

My Forza 7 assets are taking an age to grab at the moment, I transferred the demo and updated that. Looks like an entire new gen, never seen a racing game look this good and smooth. Will have to pick up Planet Earth II with these suggestions first UHD player also.

Funny thing is, they said Scorpio was limited and once pre-orders were sold it was gone... It's been in stock for the last 2 days at Amazon US.

? With only 5 left for $699 US price now. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Xbox+Scorpio

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
