Been using Instant On since launch day and it's been fine for me.
I'm wondering there will be sales for recently launched games like DMCV SE and MK11 Ultimate. Yakuza already got one after all...
Quoting myself for a new page, and to add another question:
I also feel my trigger locking up while playing Cyberpunk. Is this some variation of the adaptive triggers from the One controller? Both my black and Shock Blue controller do it, and while it's not DualSense level of adaptivity, it feels like something is locking up in there. Feels vaguely like it did hitting the breaks on Forza 5 at the One launch.
Very annoying new problem. For some reason I cannot get new screenshots to upload onto XBL. New screenshots I've taken for Manifold Garden and Call of the Sea simply won't upload and get attached to my gamertag! I go to Manage Captures, and the new screenshots won't show up under "Xbox Live". Instead, they show up under "On This Xbox", even though I saw an alert saying "Screenshot uploaded to Xbox Live" shortly after taking the screenshot.
If I go back to those screenshots (via "Manage Captures" > "On This Xbox"), and if I click on the Upload button, it again gives me an alert saying it has successfully uploaded to Xbox Live. But the problem persists. The screenshots aren't uploading properly and aren't getting attached to my gamertag.

Yes, it's really random. Sometimes it just doesn't respond to the guide button.
Really disappointed with quick resume too; at least in the games that I play none of them work lol, very much a (fantastic) beta feature right now
Just want to throw out there that I finally seen an XSX in the wild last week. (in a client's home) Yup... Microsoft is really damn good at hardware design. Like the One lineup, it's rock solid and feels/looks premium. Size wise, it's slightly smaller than I thought it would be. I was also pleased with how subtle the green in the vents is. And of course, the thing is dead silent.
Has FedEx updated your tracking for you? MS said they shipped mine on Friday but FedEx has not updated their tracking beyond Shipment Information Received and my delivery date just changed from today to Pending.
Anyone else experiencing WiFi drops? It's on Microsoft's known issue list, so just curious. Been really bugging me since the Destiny update dropped.
Used my SX disk drive for the first time today to play my $15 copy of RE3R...I didn't realize how quiet it was loading from disk. The DL a game before you own it from the Xbox app is a game changer for me honestly. I hope my ps5 gets the feature in a future update.
Got some time with my X over the weekend. Playing on a 1080p Bravia TV and I've got 2 annoying issues.
1st: My TV doesn't switch automatically to Game Mode despite my PS4-PS5-Switch doing so. Switching it manually just for the Xbox is annoying.
2nd: I'm experiencing crushed blacks. Noticed it at first with Killer Instinct, but playing Streets of Rage 4 confirmed it. The picture is much darker than the Switch version. Played a bit with the Xbox's video settings (color space, RGB, etc.) but I see no difference. Anything else I should do? Again, no issue with my PS5/Switch.

Yep, just load up another game. Then switch back to the original game and it should hopefully have a little "Quick Resume" logo on the top right and load straight up.
It doesn't seem to indicate which games are in a QR state at the moment though, so it's a little bit of a gamble. Most seem to work fine though. I had around 4 games I was bouncing around for a while, all while testing random games (and letting my roommate play on their profile with their own game) and they all came back up the next day.
Then one of them didn't quick resume the next day, no idea why, but it loads fast enough I guess.
Yes. But it still bothers me how I'm not getting 100% consistent behaviour on it, and I'm not sure when something is suspended. I'm still trying lots of titles, and it would be nice to know that I'm going to boot another title off of quick resume.
Ahh I see. I tried to redeem the daily reward for getting an achievement on the Rewards app but the freaking thing didnt register it (and crashed) until I completely quit the game, I was wondering if that kind of info doesnt get uploaded until a game is turned off completely.
Honestly didn't know this was a thing. So you can download a game without owning it? Then have it unlock with a physical disc? This is one of those quality of life convinience features that don't get talked about enough.
Not sure if it's related, and this has only happened a handful of times for me, but mine has dropped connection whilst it's on and the ethernet cable is in. To get it to connect again I either need to go to settings and connect to Xbox Live there or take the ethernet cable out and put it in again. Doesn't seem to be anything obvious triggering it and it hasn't happened whilst using WiFi.
has there been any hint as to when the legacy controller update is coming to improve input lag compared to the new controllers?
Yeah, using the Xbox app you can download and install games you don't own. You can have it downloaded and patched up ready to go. Like when they announced Skyrim was joining GamePass last week. You then had several days to get it downloaded and updated in preparation for when it went live on GamePass. Say you are at the store and buy a disc. You can use your app to start the download while still in the store, make any other stops you need while you are out, and then have the game ready and waiting for you when you get home and pop the disc in. Another scenario, say your friend is coming over to play his new fighting game or new splitcreen game with you. You can download it before he gets there. If he owns the disc copy, he can just put it in when he gets there. If he owns it digitally, he can just sign in and start the game. It really is a VERY convenient feature.
It isn't out yet?
Yeah, it's an ESPECIALLY useful feature for anyone who still buys discs. Basically lets you preload like anyone else if you want, then you just have to pop the disc in and you're golden.
For anyone experiencing the issue where the SX will go in and out of static when you launch streaming apps like netflix, disney plus, ect. - if you have a TCL TV, go into the TV settings and have it check for an update. If there is an update, download it and it should completely fix the issue.
Yep, exactly the same issue here. Any permanent fix for it?
I have a Series X and have been using the Xbox app to do Remote Play in my own home on my 2015 iPad Pro. The stream gets pretty blocky with anything fast moving - especially Forza Horizon 4. Is there any way to increase the quality or bitrate? Any settings I can change manually or other methods I could use? It looks like there was another in-home streaming for Xbox One but that doesn't work with Series X?
The Xbox is connected directly to my router with gigabit ethernet, and the iPad is on 5GHz Wifi. I have 1Gb Google Fiber and the streaming test exceeds 9mbit upload. I would think it could just stream over the LAN, but don't see any options for that.

Yup! You have to initiate the download from the xbox app on your phone though. As of right now you cant download the game directly on your xbox without owning it, so you have to remotely initiate the install from the app which works great. Then you just need to put the disk in or purchase a digital license for the game to start.
The most obvious but cumbersome one is to stream your console to another device with the DS4 connected to it. Don't know if there's a hardware solution.
I think 128GB is the lowest limit for an external 'games' formatted drive. But I think the original poster was asking about a standard 'media' stick for use with Retroarch which I don't believe has any size requirements.
its how quiet the thing is thats amazing to me. The One X was pretty quiet but there was still fan noise with instensive games. This bad boy doesnt even let out a whisper. Borderlands 3 and No Mans Sky would kick up the fans like no tomorrow on the One X....on the Series X you really need to go up and put your ear at the vents to hear anything
For the size and what they have packed in there it really is an engineering feat
This is pretty awesome stuff. The convinience factor is thru the roof with this.
Oh, nice, thanks! Do you know if the gamertag must be free or can I choose whatever?
I think you can actually use anything now and they just append numbers to the end if it's already in use although I haven't tried it myself.

Fortnite has added a 120hz mode option for both Series X and S, and my time on the Series S mode in the 50 vs 50 mode (which normally sees the most performance variation) was solid, including based on the refresh rate display on my monitor for the VRR mode.
Last I had known, it got the 60hz (including splitscreen) and visual improvements on Series S/X, so I think the 120hz mode is pretty recent?
Edit: Ah, it's detailed in the patch notes from today!

It sat at "no tracking information" for a few days, then FedEx started updating it. MS was still saying expected date 12/23 even as it arrived today. (!)
FedEx of course dropped it on my front door on the streets of Philly without waiting for a signature in an area where package theft is rampant, but fortunately working from home I was able to run down and snatch it.
Has anyone else noticed audio issues with the Series X? I'm experiencing audio 'clicks' and 'pops' when navigating the dashboard, which seems to be tied to when the sound effect plays (like the sound file is corrupt) but it is really apparent with WatchDogs: Legion. I've eliminated the TV, Sound Bar and Headphones by actually unplugging them in turn and the problem can actually be heard in a recording I made through the console and playing it back on PC.
I've uploaded the video here. Should I start a repair request? (well, after Xmas).

I have that bug on Legion and have posted videos on Ubisoft forums reporting the issue there. They've said they've been able to replicate and are working on a fix. The glitching is there even when recording through the Xbox itself (as opposed to speakers or TV).Has anyone else noticed audio issues with the Series X?

It's not the same thing as the little pops you hear sometimes in the Xbox UI when you get a notification or whatever. Those little pops have been there since the original Xbox One and don't happen in games.
Please do report the Legion issue to Ubi in this thread, the more people complain the more likely it is they'll fix it: https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/2292856-Audio-Popping-Cracking?p=15247039#post15247039
You don't need to start a return request. The popping and crackling in Watch Dogs isn't tied to a particular sound effect: it happens constantly on the main menu, in game and in in-game menus too. The sound glitch is also different too. If it was a hardware issue it would be happening in other games too, and as far as I can tell it doesn't.
You can go on Legion youtube streams and hear the glitching there too. Some people don't notice it when they're playing, only in the menus - but if you get the bug it's there all the time.
