The X version? That is native 4k

Was assuming he just meant it’s not both things. Its definitely fill 4k on X

Re: Xbox One

Wait so How does this work again? My home console is in the living room and I have 150 digital games on this X which is my Home console, my son logs in and gets to play everything and get to use my Live account as well, If I had another X console in the Bedroom, since my account with all the games is on it is the Home console, how would I be able to play all my games on the new console with causing an issue if my son is playing?

Any account can play all your stuff downloaded on the Home console, so your son would play with his account on that one, and you log in on the bedroom console with your account and then have access to everything through that login.

so when I log into the the bedroom console it wouldn't knock my son out of the Home Console?

As long as you use separate gamer tags.

Exactly...if he was logged in with your gamertag on the Home xbox then you'd kick him off when you logged in in the bedroom. Using separate gamertags (my wife and I each have one, eventually i'll probably make them for kids, but they're only 4, 2 and 2 right now lol)

Think of it this way.

You buy a game, it is owned by your account.

Your account has a home console, people who use that console get the benefits your account enjoys (Game Pass, Gold, and digital game purchases) - even when that account is not signed in.

Any other console you play on (be it downstairs, a friend's house, etc), you have access to your content as long as you are signed in.

So on one console where you AREN'T the one primarily playing, you make that your home console (ie my wife's Xbox upstairs)

On the other console where you primarily, play, you are always logged in to do so, providing you access to all of the benefits of your account - as long as you remain logged in.

There are a limited number of times you can change your home console, to prevent abuse of this.

Very good explanation.

It'd be cool if they had some "local network" family concept that would let you share stuff across a few (IE I have 2 xboxes now, but in the future could see adding a S or X and moving another to a guest room)...I'm sure a feature like that would be abused, but it'd be nice.

Yeah I didn't mean its in SDR but its upscaled from that, which digital foundry didnt even find initially.

The HDR is half assed. That doesn’t have anything to do with the game being in native 4k or not though as far as I know.

Re: Xbox One

I personally leave HDR on because SDR in this game and like many games that have HDR crushes blacks. And using my tv brightness or gamma curves are not ideal for the pq

Perhaps they will patch it but I am good with the fake HDR as long as I do not have to artificially raise my gamma or brightness

Re: Xbox One

Just started using Alexa to work with Xbox and I really like it. Missed those features from when I had the Kinect. I installed the App on my phone and using it from there but have been thinking about getting the Alexa Speaker to use. Couple friends told me they thought the one for Google is better and to wait till Black Friday.

Not sure if the Google one will ever work with Xbox and the Echo is on sale at Amazon for 79.99 right now. Any thoughts on this and the one for Google?

I need to mess with it more....had it working but then it was making "Alexa, play Baby Shark" go to some random shark game on Xbox and not playing Baby Shark, which of course caused my entire household to go into pandemonium, especially the 2 year old twin girls. I then disconnected it in order to survive

My son has his own gamertag but its under my account, like he logs into his gamertag and plays all the games on the home console. If I log into another xbox it wouldn't bump him?

It shouldn’t. Just make sure your tag is the default tag on your console. If you jump on his tag for even a second it will kick him.
