Not sure if you've figured it out yet, but do you have your xbox set to 120hz when playing warzone? Warzone isn't optimized but it does unlock the frame rate and it hovers between 115 fps at times so It might end up feeling choppy.

A tip for anyone with a 1080/ 120 tv, i have a LG OLED B7 which supports 120 fps only at 1080p, and in my series X i was not seeing any difference between 60 and 120 fps in cold war (after selecting 1080p ,120Hz in the video settings and in the game options i had enabled 120 Hz Refresh Rate), the trick for this to work is to uncheck "Allow 4K" in the video modes menu of the xbox video settings, after that i can clearly see the difference between 60 and 120 fps.
Glad to know it's not system related. It happened shortly after I disconnected my external HDD.
It working one minute and off the next.
I bought a Series S to compliment my Series X the other day. It's mainly going to be used as a "travel console" and/or local multiplayer console. I know it's a bit excessive, but I got a decent deal on it so I'm not too fuzzed about it.
While I have somewhat of an idea of which games I want to install on the S (lots of indie games and small MP games), I'm wondering if there is a list somewhere that details the best Series S enhanced games? Any good recommendations?

Oh right. I completely forgot about those pages. Already seeing a handful of games I'm going to install once the console arrives. Thanks!
One more question: Does anyone know what Resident Evil 7 runs like on Series? Is it basically the Xbox One (S) version?

What a great nickname. I wonder if she had that since she was a baby, or if her friends came up with that in grade school. I always add a few numbers on the end of any nickname I give my friends. Like "What's up T-Bone634920458?" Makes them feel special.
Gotcha. So not ideal, but it should be fine for a quick playthrough.
A friend and I started playing it when he came to visit the other week. We want to pick up where we left off when I travel back home for the summer.

Quick resume magic again.
Storm and lost power, unplugged. Plug in and get a patch and reboot. Launch Assassin's Creed Valhalla, disc bumps and it's right where I left the game.
When it works, it's 😘👌

Anyone know if it's possible to use a DualShock 4 with the Xbox Game Streaming Windows app? I can't get it to work, either Wirelessly or wired.
No, you need Xinput, and that is not Xinput.
You need something like DS4Windows.
LOL. I actually got one of those last week.Haven't received one of these in a while
Don't know who these people are fooling. I get these messages from time to time, it's always someone with 0 gamerscore, lolHaven't received one of these in a while
I am starting to hear some little audio cracks in-game like the ones the Xbox Series X does in the main menu, it starting to become annoying, since it seems to happen on a per game basis? its weird, Witcher 3 and Celeste are fine, but Mass effect legendary edition does cracks when resuming the game from suspended or when booting the game, after that its fine.
It also happens on a per game basis when taking a screenshot, Final Fantasy X cracks but ME legendary edition, Witcher 3 are fine.
I don´t know if its the headset I am using (Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2), but it only happens on my Xbox Series X, when using the headset with my cellphone no audio cracks have happened.

Why is my console making me enter my Microsoft password every time I wake the thing up?
Edit I see now nvm

Auto sign in option? Not sure if there is one but maybe it's unchecked?
Blow through the intakes at the bottom? Not thought about dust tbh, I'm assuming they took that into account when they designed it. It should blow it up and out I'm guessing.
Got my Series X yesterday. First impressions:
- Setting up via the smartphone app was really good but even after it's all set up, the icon in the app still says I have no console set up
- The console itself looks fantastic
- GUI already experienced on my Xbone and I still prefer it over the previous version
- Plugging in my external drives from the Xbone and having my games ready to go is awesome
- Controller very disappointing. Feels solid enough but the plastic looks very cheap, the texture on the handles is awful and the dpad, while feeling great, makes an annoying click
- Power cable ridiculously short, an absolute joke
I like the series s so far but... no standard Bluetooth so I cannot use my BT speakers.
Also wish more games had mouse and keyboard support. Their pc versions do, like doom eternal, for example.
Should be fine to hold me over til I get a gpu though I find myself playing games I already can and do play on my pc lol.

Not for me. It feels like it's covered in sandpaper. Sadly, there don't seem to be any wireless third party controllers yet.
The Xbox One controllers work still on the next gen console if you just want a smooth controller.
I recently bought a Series X, but I'm having a problem with the controller. The black one that came with it and the red one I bought both are registering extra presses when I hit the A button, or sometimes it doesn't register a press at all. Amazon was nice enough to replace just the controller and not make me wait for a console restock, and also exchanged the red controller. Both new ones do the same thing. It's really noticeable in Tetris Effect, and is constantly ruining good runs I'm having. Is this actually a console problem or are there just a lot of poorly made controllers, or do I have really bad luck? I tried using a usb C cable to play wired instead but the problem persisted.
Did you make any changes at the OS level for controllers, such as the Accessories app?
I have several controllers over the years, as well as two new ones and even Series 1 and 2 Elites. None do this.
Going offline crapped out when I needed to use it to play Series X. It kept telling me to sign in to that account that I had a subscription in when I already was. After getting internet back, I went to the subscription section and tried going offline and it seemed to work. Well see what happens next time I actually want to use it.
The Show had a different error about making it My Home xbox... and it already was.
Now after booting it up in offline mode, "sign in and renew the subscription" for Maneater.

That's weird, 4 for 4 on the same defect seems like maybe there's something else going on? I've had 9 different Xbox controllers across One, Series S|X, and Elite 2, and never experienced this including with Tetris Effect (Series and Elite controllers).
I assumed WiFi interference, so I removed it from the equation, yet still an issue.
I'm inviting trouble now, but after a good few weeks with my series x I'm impressed by how stable the experience is. I would have frequent lock ups with my one x, or freezes in game (the one where the picture would lock and the sound would go nuts) but I haven't had a single episode of this thus far on the new console. Also quick resume has been unexpectedly solid as well. I've only played a couple of games, but it hasn't let me down once.
I'm looking for an audio partner for my Xbox Series X, but I am not sure what the best wireless headset for the Xbox Series X is. I was thinking about the Beoplay Portal since it could replace my Sony WH-1000MX3 headset for work, but I do not find many impressions of it. I'm interested if it is even usable for PS5.

When did you get a patch? I downloaded it like 2 days ago to play Conkers Bad Fur Day, and didn't get a patch (yet).
Stay on the stable channel and away from Insider and I think most people have a really good experience with the box. It hurts that some times really awesome features are readily available in testing within a few clicks, but after my experiences doing so last-gen, I'm sticking with the "ready" releases. They're usually only a month or two away from release from testing channels anyway.
My Series X experience has been rock solid. The only issues I have with it at this point are non-game related edge-case media stuff. But I "solved" those issues by getting an Nvidia Shield anyway (and it's worth saying those edge-cases are closer to perfect than they've ever been even so). If they ever do fix those things in software eventually, all the better.
Kids don't know how good they have it lol - the S/X boxes are bonkers good.
Talking about Conker, why hasn't Microsoft included Live & Reloaded on game pass or Rare Replay? I don't get it.
If I paid the license for atmos on my one x will that carry over to series x?

I was thinking the exact same the other day. Looking at the Game Pass, I was seeing all the Banjoo games and Perfect Dark available outside of the Rare Replay, so I checked for Conkers, but nothing. Checked for the Live and Reloaded, it was on the Store but not on the Game Pass, weird. Maybe they forgot about it?
Then I downloaded Rare Replay from the Game Pass and Conkers was there. Not sure if it's better to play it with this or on a emulator, but so far it's been working well.
