Was wondering if someone knew this, I know there's a Dolby Atmos app for Xbox, does that work for UHD movie discs as well? I know a handful of games support it and I assume the streaming apps, but was wondering if that worked for 4K discs too.

Additionally, does the Atmos work with a headset plugged into the controller?

Thanks!

Yes to both questions.

Got my XSX today after the long wait from MS to ship

Loaded up my PGR4 disc, which I have been excited to revisit for years.
Not compatible.

I hate this console.

Seriously though, in many ways the presentation and ancillary features TROUNCE my PS5. Sony went backward in so many ways, while this seems to improve things without sacrificing anything. But I still see myself mostly sticking to PC while this exists for legacy titles. But I am mega bummed at no PGR support.

Probably license issues. Same reason almost all of the Forza titles aren't BC.

Anyone else having problems with the official play and charge kit?

I bought a new one for the series x controller but it just isn't charging. Had it connected all day while playing and over night to a charging plug. Nothing. The charging bar recognizes I connected a cable with changing the battery icon from red to white but it's red again when I remove the cable.

Read on Amazon reviews that people have the same issue, what's going on here? Are they selling dead batteries in masses?

Oh god, please ... no.
I ordered mine on Friday and it arrives tomorrow.
I had a play & charge kit for my 360 controllers back in the day and it died within a couple of weeks.

I had hoped that the new ones are better, hence why I skipped the Xbox One kit.

I had the exact same issue as well.

I opened it back up and checked, it was sitting in there securely, but I reseated the battery and it started showing the charging animation like it was supposed to.
...and then the controller lost sync with the console and won't work without being plugged in. I think a reboot will probably fix that, going by comments online, but I just left it plugged in for now.

What charging animation? I don't have one at all, it just sits at a specific state.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good headset for Series X? Doesn't have to be wireless, I'm ok with wired also.

Sorry if this is not the place, but I have a 3.0 128 GB thumb drive that isn't being recognized by the Xbox series X. I actually just want it to be recognized as media storage. I think the format is exFAT. I have a crappy little 16 GB thumb drive that is being recognized however. I've tried moving it around the usb ports and no go. I was actually hoping to use it in Dev mode.

So I guess my question is if anyone has any advice for me, and if not, if there any recommendations for 128 GB thumb drive they have seen working.

Got mine last week, so far so good.

Initially could not find it being sold anywhere (Canada), maybe there is a manufacturing issue with it?

I love my Series X. Having a blast right now replaying the Mass Effect Series. Finished ME 1 last night and just started ME 2 and it looks good.

Also getting into Planet Coaster & Cities: Skylines as well. Never thought I would play these type of games w/ a controller but I think i'm at the point where I prefer a controller over a keyboard & mouse.

Maybe. But mine is definitely dead nothing is recharging.

Well, I can get 16 AA 2000mah rechargable Amazon batteries for like 5 bucks less than the broken Microsoft battery pack. What was I thinking, I will just get these now. The reports of other people should have been a warning for me....
Thanks god I ordered at Amazon tho, now I can send them back and get my money back immediately at least.

Launching C2077 doesn't turn on my TV's HDR mode. It keeps the HDR configuration present while my TV (Q70R) stays on a SDR feed, meaning extremely washed out colors. It's the only game that triggers this—all my other XSX's games launch just fine in HDR. Whats the deal with that?

I finished Gears 5 yesterday. I had some audio issues with it. The end music didn't play along with some other sound issues as well. If music was supposed to kick in, the audio would lower and stay there with no music playing at all.

Overall, the desert area was the low-point with the opening and ending chapters being the high-point.

God Destiny 2 runs buttery smooth on the new consoles. Not to mention how little time the ship idle animates when switching between worlds.

Is the battery inserted correctly?

Same for me...I do have Planet Coaster (which is 60fps), Destiny 2, COD on mine that you don't have. I have not started COD since I am waiting for a patch that fixes all the crashes it seems to cause.

There no way Planet Coaster is 60fps in my experience. Constant jutters and drops just moving about the map that I'd guess it's dropping into 20fps or so at times.

For the most part it is 60fps...but depending on what you are doing there are some drops. I was testing some of the new rides from the Spookly DLC last night and on one of the rides in 1st person and just turning around it was bad...really bad...but I changed the camera angle and it was back to being very smooth. I would not call it a constant 60fps though, which you are correct.
