HDMI-CEC Input switching need to be disabled for remote play, my god everytime I press the xbox button it'll switch to that input on the TV, which is fine in normal useage but not when i'm streaming in another room
No option for it. Closest thing is just to turn on the console/TV by turning on your controller. I actually hate that the PS5 does that, it's so annoying when you turn the TV off and then next time you turn the TV on to watch something it'll also turn on the PS5.
For the Xbox engineers here: any chance we can get a 240hz display mode, even if it's 1080p?
I know the Xbox Series drives the display independently of the game like PC, so 60hz games are frame doubled to 120hz.
I mention it because of the drive to have games on PC, mainly fighting games, due to the input latency reduction as well as the faster display response.
Guilty Gear Strive is an example: playing the game on 240, 300 and even 360hz monitors help reduce the input latency by magnitudes compared to 60hz. The game is 60hz no matter what.
Tekken 7 and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 have mods on PC for this now too, and these are on Xbox.
It would bring an advantage PC has over consoles to Xbox, and have it be ahead of the competition.
4K 240Hz would be possible if the Xbox has DSC. And there is that Samsung G8 Neo announced that can do 4K 240hz over HDMI 2.1.
It would definitely be a niche feature right now, but definitely some hardcore players would jump all over it right now.

Got my Series X today, and happy with it so far. Love the understated design.
I noticed a bunch of my 360 arcade games aren't available in my library to download though. Would these be games that never received backwards compatibility? A shame but I get it. Just checking there's not something I'm missing here to get the remaining titles to show up.

Likely yes. While a lot of 360 games are BC - it's not all of them, and for XBLA games I think it was about half
Yep, that's the issue. I have a handful of live arcade games that are pretty much marooned on the 360.
Ah too bad. Surprised Super Meat Boy didn't make the jump, or maybe that's because it was re-released (with inferior soundtrack)

YouTube app being weird. X and Y not back spacing or spacing. They fiddle with the app too much.
So I just got an X, and have a quick question about resuming after turning off. Not Quick Resume(TM), but resume the last game you played. I am playing Fifa 21, afaik, it doesn't support Quick Resume, but I was able to resume after turn it on again for about 1/3 of times. Does it relate to the power-off mode (inst-on vs energy saving)？Also, can the console update when in energy saving? I read some articles saying yes, but it never worked on my console.
Yeah I noticed this yesterday. Really annoying having to move the cursor to the space and delete buttons.
I think the last game played is always resumable whether it supports quick resume or not. But games with a persistent online connection like FIFA can regularly fail to reconnect.
From what I've read here, game downloads are definitely paused when the console is set to Energy Saving. But I'm not certain about game and console updates.
Correct. What QR does is keep up to 5 like that. But what is happening is keeping the console in stand-by, which always leaves the game on sleep mode.
I've had issues with some BC games not showing up in the ready to install section. If you still don't see it, you can try searching for it in the Xbox store and download it that way. I had to do that with a couple games that were missing.
So just ordered a Series S. My first Xbox console in ages. This is gonna be "fun".
Is there anything essential or important i should know before getting? Dont even have an Xbox account, but i guess i can just use my general MS account for Xbox ?
Im gonna give the system a week of testing and playing around with some games/demos etc. - if im satisfied i plan on jumping into the GamePass world and get that 3Y/subscription deal.

Download the xbox app if you can, makes console setup much easier
Good to know !!
Oh thats a good point, i remember the setup process being streamlined if you use the app. Gonna download it.
Thats the only relevant mobile app for Xbox right ?
you're instructed to do so I think at the beginning but yeah it does make it easier
Also the gamepass app if applicable, it allows you to stream games through xcloud, and also kick off remote downloads
Gonna look into the app once i sub to GamePass.
Speaking of which, what is a good site to see what "good" games are on sale right now and what games are on GamePass right now ?
Looking for options. I have a series x. My wife and I play wonderlands on it split screen. This is a miserable way to play the game.
I've ordered a refurbished series s.
This is where the question comes in. Is there a way to do this without buying both a second copy of the game and a gold for the second console. We also occasionally play online with a couple of friends.
I feel like I'm grasping at straws here, but holding out some hopes that there's a way do this. I'm thinking that maybe I set the one my wife uses as the home console, but really don't actually know.

1. You set hers as the home console for your account
2. She plays on that xbox with her account
3. You play on the other xbox with your account.

Cool. Went to update some games , tried to launch Bugsnax and series x turned off. Controller still on.
I recently got a Series X as a gift and have some questions before I replace my launch Xbone with this bad boy. I seem to be getting conflicting answers so I figured pop on here and ask some smart people. Forgive me if these are silly, easy things I should know, sometimes your mind goes blank and it be right now.
- I use a WD My Book 4TB external hard drive with my Xbone. Am I able to use this with the Series X? I'm sure the games on it won't be enhanced but I'm more concerned with the space which would suck to lose.
- Do I have to re-install physical games on the Series X? Like say I have a physical copy of Elden Ring so I would have to re-install it right even if the save/data is on the hdd? Sorry if this is worded odd.
Thanks in advance and if there's anything else I should know during setup, please let me know.

For the first it's just plug and play pretty much. You might have to move some games to the internal drive of the Series X if they are upgraded for the Series to get Series version.
For the second I'm not sure, but I think it should just work. For Elden Ring it has a Series upgrade, so you'll probably have to move it to the internal drive.

Everything should be plug and play. The only thing is you may not get patches unless you launch games because it will technically re-register them on the new console first. And obviously you won't be able to play any true series X games through the external. It's good for cold storage though.
Thanks a bunch! I'll make sure to put my most played on the internal drive and switch some in and out when needed. Don't really mind that as long as I can still keep stuff stored. Guess I'll set it up tomorrow then. Appreciate it, thanks again.
I'm looking for a cheaper battery thingy that works like the play and charge kit for convenience. Any recommendations? I'll be needing 2 and want something good but cheaper than the official play and charge. Thanks.
Didn't see this mentioned anywhere so I'll put it here:
As part of Ninja Gaiden Master Collection's addition to Gamepass today: the game has been updated to support 'Xbox Play Anywhere' as part of it being listed on the Windows MS Store for the first time.
(the same happened to the outer wilds+Firewatch when they were added to Gamepass).
Great for me as it means I now own it for PC.

I was checking compatibility options for random games and saw assassin's Creed 3 had fps boost, but it was unchecked.
How come?
How come?
FPS Boost isn't enabled by default when enabling it means dropping the resolution. It basically changes the game to run at One S settings.

Aha. It did mention that enabling might drop res. Think it's the first time I saw that.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Sort of related but more of a broad question:
I just upgraded from a Series S to a Series X, namely for the disk drive, and ordered a copy of Ninja Garden II for the 360 before noticing that this collection was releasing.
Is the backwards compatible version worth playing, or should I go with the Master Collection? I believe the Collection is based off of the Sigma releases, which I've never touched.
Specifically for remote play? I don't want to have to turn it off every time I stream, though that is an option for now
I believe there is a specific option on PS5 within CEC that the TV shouldn't boot the PS5.
But I have to double check when I'm home from work.
Oops my bad, just realised that you replied to the second part of my comment. Please let me know if you find anything!
You can keep HDMI-CEC Input switching on (so that your TV switches to the correct input when you boot up your Xbox) but disable using the Xbox button to switch inputs. That's what I do to fix the remote play issue.
Settings > System > HDMI
Turn off both Enable One-Touch Play and Enable Power Off Link
Am I doing something wrong or you can no longer use the keyboard to navigate the dashboard when using remote play on PC?
Does anyone know how to fix the Home Guide lag on a series s controller? I know there was an issue but not sure if they fixed it. I did a few things to try to fix it but no dice. It still has that 2 to 3 second lag and I hate the fact that if I hold it for too long it tries to get me to shut it off. Anyone have a fix or idea on how to fix it?
