How do I set up DTS and Dolby Atmos for headphones on the series X?
It's telling me to buy a license for both, but I thought they were included

Man, don't know where I got the impression that they were :/
Was excited to try out the arctis 7x with them.
Will see if I can put aside some money to pay for the license.
Which is better, Atmos or DTS?
Is it a monthly thing?
I only have Atmos which is a one off payment for several licences for you to use on various devices. The sounds is great on my Arctis headset, but be aware the default setup is for competitive gamers so unless having nearby footsteps amplified is your thing you will need to make adjustments.
There is an option to dim the light for the Elite controllers in the devices menu I think. Not sure if this had been changed to include standard controllers.
Regarding remote play, i can't browse the shop while using this mode. I can understand not being able to access any of the streaming services this way but i don't see why it doesn't let me use the shop. On my PS4 i can browse the shop while remote playing so i hope they change it.
I've been out of the xbox landscape for a while so maybe this has been the case for years now but the ease of taking a screen shot or video and having it on your xbox app and ready to share wherever you like... is sooo good.
Was talking to my friends about Doom and the glory kills (I have a friend who is not down with any kind of violence much less gratuitous violence) and getting her opinion on it was sooo easy, no complicated log in process with twitter or facebook or any of that garbage, just uploading the footage to the app and letting you download a video, super smooth stuff.

Oh crap. I think I'll buy it anyway. :P I'll get stable 30fps on Series S at least.
Just checked, Mine has the proper icon and says Series X
I know on launch day someone reported it showing Xbox One after using the app to migrate games and settings from their Xbox One. I did not do this so maybe that is why?
the dolby app offers a 8 days demo, so you can judge it by yourself before buying it ;) (I still think that's the best 3D audio app, certainly because it does wonders when the game is ra real Atmos one...)
I have played all the Souls, but it's split across platforms. Thinking about picking up the Dark Souls Remaster and Dark Souls 3 (Again) for my Series X. Anyone have any feedback on how either of them play?
lol the graphics are nice, but the animations are meh and and everyone fidgets like they have a crack habit.
I only tried ME1 and it looks nice with HDR, but is capped as the other poster said. With the remasters soon upon us, it's better to wait for those tbh.
For 2.0 you are best leaving the color depth at 8bit and allowing 4.2.2.
Andromeda got a One X upgrade to 30fps@1800 (Same as PS4Pro) It was a stealth update on a Nov 7 (3rys ago???)
Friend's Series X failed last night. First Sea of Thieves started crashing, then every game stopped launching. Now it powers on half the time, and when it does, there's pretty major GPU artifacting.
Going to contact Microsoft support, hopefully they'll do a quick exchange in Canada.
That's 1/3 boxes I purchased that are duds so far. Friend is MAJORLY bummed out - wants to just get a refund and forgo nextgen, but I'm trying to talk him down.

Does anyone know if the issue of the Series X freezing, shutting down, but the controller remains on is hardware or software related?
Found this on Reddit about RE3 running on Series S
The loads are insane, and I expect better performance what from my PS4 Slim. It's tempting get this and RE2 even if I had those already for PS4.

Is there a way to tell if VRR is working? I'm playing Valhalla and not noticing any tearing but I'm not sure if I'm just not paying enough attention.
if you own Valhalla and it doesnt tear, its working. That game has insane tearing without it.
Ok cool. I played three hours last night and didn't notice anything so I guess my TV (C9) just takes care of it.
Assassins Creed feels real good at 60fps.
I grabbed this digital a few weeks back, and have been looking forward to burning through it. Good find.
I'm not sure about the PC port, (heard it needs mods to avoid major issues?) but as far as consoles go Series X is absolutely the best way to play Nier Automata and it's not close.
I'm fortunate enough to have a ps5 and a XSX, and have the game on both systems. I installed both and took screen caps from each directly (it should be noted that they both run at locked 60).
The Series X version has much better image quality than the PS5 version.
PS5: Left
XSX: Right

It's also quite noticeable while playing that the XSX has superior image quality and resolution. It's not close.
Thought someone might find this useful since it's such a beloved game!
(Also note that Nier Automata is currently available on Gamepass!)

To my knowledge, whenever a game is active in memory (nothing to do with Quick Resume), download speeds are pulled back from their max. So if a game is "idling" while you're on the home screen, you can speed up the max download by manually closing it.
I don't have the game to test, but that's most likely nonsense based on how the resolution setting has always worked on Xbox. Lowering your screen resolution in the system menu changes output res, but not internal res. So for example, if you set the Series X to 720p, it's still rendering games at their full res, it's just supersampling them on that 720p output. It's the first I've heard of a way to play AC @ 60 fps on Series S, which makes me doubtful in itself.
The série x IS the best version for me, even with the mod, i never felt the game this smooth on my 1080ti...and the HDR IS really good !I'm not sure about the PC port, (heard it needs mods to avoid major issues?) but as far as consoles go Series X is absolutely the best way to play Nier Automata and it's not close.

Nice! It was a very weird mistake to have since the one X didn't.
Also, i just want to say that I'm loving this console and I'm so happy i skipped on the pro consoles because coming from a regular ps4, even playing an old game like Halo at 120Hz really feels to me like a generational leap. Also, so many games running at 4K 60fps with HDR... it's just difficult to go back
Has anyone had an issue where a vertical line up and down the screen is sort of misaligned or "displaced". It's hard to describe, but if you look at a box for example, one half of it is raised compared to the other if said line is going through it. I'm assuming it's something to do with VRR/120hz, as my G-sync monitor has the same issue now and then, and is corrected with a simple power off-on. Using a LG C9 if that helps.

Can someone give me examples of games that are OUT NOW that I won't be able to play from an external SSD?
I'm pretty sure Forza Horizon 4, Grounded, Maneater, and Planet Coaster can't be run from an external drive. Only the internal or the expansion card.
From what I've read, if you look at the file info for an installed game and it says AppModel:GDK then it will only work on the internal. If it says AppModel: XDK, then it was made using the Xbox One DevKit and should run from the external.
