We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I'm saying most games will be running natively at or below 1440p anyway, so that won't be a trade-off aside from the subset of games that happen to have ~4K modes. Any games that are higher-res like that will supersample down to 1440p, so even for cases where there's a higher resolution to be had, that detail isn't totally going to waste.
Just to be clear, most of your games aren't rendering at 4K just because the console is in that mode; They most likely just have nice IQ and are benefitting from the good system-level scaler. You're basically losing nothing by switching to the 1440p mode, and would then be getting the added benefits of high refresh rates.
Console is rendering internally at 1080p. Honestly, if you don't notice, then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you very much for the explanation.
I'll use 1440p 120hz then. :)
EDiT: launched Halo 5 and the output changed to 4K60Hz. Why this happened? Going back to home menu goes to 1440p120Hz
I just bought a new series X to replace my old series X as it had some hardware issues so I will send that one back.
Is there anything I should do before getting rid of the old console? For example is there something I should deactivate so that this is not my primary console any more and then is there something I should do on the new console?

Your new console will be set as the home console during set up or at least give the option. If not then just set it as such nbd.

Microsoft gives Xbox Series S devs more memory to improve graphics performance
Some Xbox Series S games will get a performance boost.

Any alternative to the Elite Controller (2)?
I want something with backpaddles and wireless, getting one is easy, but both are rare.

Scuf has some pretty fantastic wireless controllers for Xbox with their Instinct and Instinct Pro controllers.
I have one and it's the best controller I've used. I made a thread on it:

Sorry for the abrupt change of subject , but man, was watching EVO and SFV to not be on xbox kind of killed* the genre in the xbox platform.
Glad that Melty Blood and KoF XV was launched in Xbox and SFVI is launching in the future too.
I hope that Crossplay also helps us to find better games.
* Not an english speaker, so maybe is a poor choice of words, what I meant was, there are few people playing in the platform, and we missed some important games too. (GranBlue, BlazBlue Tag, a lot of Guilty Gear games, The new remaster for Pesona Arena...)
Edit: Thought this was OT hahaha

My games and apps -> hover over the game -> Menu/Hamburger button -> Add to group -> pins
"pins" option don't appear for me here. I can add to a group (name it before) or add to "suggested apps" (apps sugeridos, in portuguese).
Does anyone's series x start when you turn your TV on? It's so annoying. I already disabled HDMI CEC, changed the console to another port, messed with settings both on tv and console and nothing.
That should definitely only happen with hdmi cec. Weird.
Try power cycling both the tv and console. Also try different hdmi ports just in case.
Exactly, as far as I know only certain ports allow that function.
Already tried and it keeps happening. I can live with that but I hope it's not a sign of something worse.
If you've disabled the hdmi CEC features on the console and it's still happening use the "report a problem" tool to submit it as a bug.
It should be
Edit: apparently not with the new design lab anymore

Unfortunately I believe they removed that possibility a few months ago.
Anyone here that has a decent PC and also an Xbox? I am really tempted to just go with an Series X for the next few years instead of upgrading my PC. I can still play most games with ok-ish mid settings (R5 2600 with Vega 56 GPU) but sitting on the desktop all the time is killing me. I have a 65 inch 4k 120 Hz TV and I tried to connect it to my PC but the experience wasn't great. Too much getting up for games that aren't on Steam or when something didn't work and also some problems because both TV and monitor have different resolutions and refresh rates which some games didn't like. HDR was also problematic.
I need some convenience in my old days where I can press a button and just play.

I have a 3060 Ti/5600x PC which is a decent mid-range build. I also bought a Series X (and some S...) because like you said the couch convenience can win over being in the desk. Especially with remote work all the time it can be nice to change up the environment just a bit. Cross saves in many titles and game pass ultimate make it an easy ecosystem to be in. I'd recommend getting a Series X and then upgrade your PC with new components after they release down the line if you can budget it.
I do. I was also lucky enough to get a PS5. I have a Switch also.
This is what I did. PC to TV is kind of annoying to juggle, and getting XSX/PS5 quality settings would have required much more than the cost of a XSX (I had a 3770k and 970 4gb but upgraded recently to a 1060 6gb because they're so cheap now). I got a PS5 too, but it's the most redundant console I have. It's basically for PS4/5 exclusives, subsidized by selling my PS4.
Quite happy so far, but I feel like in 10 years or so I might regret not having so much of my backlog on Steam.
3080 here.
I play on Xbox because sometimes I prefer the simplicity. Steam is nice, but I'm never playing some type of games on PC.
My Series X went through a long period where half the time I'd turn it on, it wouldn't connect to the internet. I'd have to go into settings and select my home Wi-Fi and type in the password for it to connect, and then everything would be fine. Not the biggest deal in the world, and this also didn't happen to me for at least a handful of months. But last week it started to happen again, just a little annoying, not a huge problem.
Ok, so how do you upload a custom gamer pic these days? I haven't changed mine in years and now the method that I used in the past, no longer works. I used to change it via one drive but that is no longer an option, only file explorer is. And the Xbox app won't allow you to upload custom pics either.. so errr, help?
Edit: the app is working now - must of been having a funny five minutes or something

The Xbox Series controller is backward compatible with the Xbox One if that's what you mean. They're pretty readily available, at least the basic black ones
Looking to play Starlink on PC and I'm not 100% sure the Series X controller is compatible so I was gonna pick up a Xbox One controller to be safe.
It should be compatible. It's treated exactly like an Xbox One controller. The only difference is the share button which won't matter.
I just noticed the Y on the homescreen is more orange than yellow. Which doesn't match the controller color.
Is this really the case?

You can even use a Xbox 360 controller. All are Xinput.
The Starlink controller mount is designed for the Xbox One controller, the Xbox 360 controller probably is too differently shaped.
Gdi I read that as Starfield lol
Yeah for XBO controllers you'll have to scour used ones.

"It works yeah, but it hits the share button when you first put it on." Doesn't sound that big of a deal
My Series X dashboard is absolutely chugging lately. It's doing my head in. I use energy saving mode so I can't imagine a power cycle will help. What gives?
