Strangely enough, if they announce auto-60fps on BC titles, I might go out and buy a Series X now instead of waiting until Halo Infinite comes out. Also provided that the Stock Gods smile down upon me.
I would absolutely love to play Bioshock Infinite with a steady or improved framerate.

I'm gonna go ahead and temper my expectations and say tomorrow is the launch of xcloud on Apple. The Gamepass announce labels now fully say cloud in the header and article, and it's big enough for insiders and early testers to get excited.
While at the same time being utterly useless to many of us, so that the result is a kind of Neogaf anti-hype.
Ya know, either that or they're buying SEGA. I don't know.

That headset looks nice, I feel like I should have waited before buying the 9x

Is that a rumour, the auto 60fps thing? Combined with auto HDR that would be a hell of a thing to have.

Alright so if my account doesn’t have an active Game Pass subscription, because I have multiple accounts on my console and one account already has it, does that mean I won’t be able to do cloud streaming on mobile?

I will check it again one of these days to make sure, but I think BI (remastered version for X1) runs at 60 fps and 4K.

The 9x is an amazing headset, probably quite a bit better than this new Xbox one. Don't feel bad about purchasing the 9x.

Don't get me wrong I love my 9x's
The xbox headset seems like a cheaper version of the 9x's and they have an app on the console, I hate having to update my headset and if I want to adjust EQ I have to plug it into my laptop.

how do you even update 9x? i didn’t think it even needed any

You have to download the app on your PC or laptop plug in headset and update it, the recent updates solved the connections issues. I was lucky I bought the headset as they released the update so I've never had any connection issues.

oh i didn’t even know about that, i’ll do it now.

So, when i look at my full library of games, its now seperated into four areas. Series x games, xbox one x ehanced games, xbox one games, and xbox 360 games.
many games that were xbox one x enhanced, like crash 4, and resident evil 3 are not showing up under the xbox one x enhanced area, rather, they are showing up in the normal xbox one area. I thought nothing of it...until i played re3, and it looks much blurrier imo than the last time i played it. Did a bunch of games lose their xbox one x enhancements?
edit: under the games file info, it no longer says X1XE, so yeah, fuck it looks like a bunch of games just got downgraded

It is really hard for me to think this is intentional. Must be a bug of some sort.

This view has been a option since September/October last year before the series consoles even released, I am guessing you have either changed the group by filter at the top without realising it or the last system update has made it the default view for those that did not have it already, the issue, if it is actually one with some games being categorised in normal Xbox One that were previously thought to be enhanced has been present this whole time.
And just to add if you did change it I noticed you say full library you can also have this view in your installed section if you so wish, you just have to change the group by filter again separately.

Yesterday there were two positive MS threads (the February GP additions, and the new Xbox Wireless Headset reveal) so I just knew that someone would post a "Game Pass Doom" thread today. Sure enough, I wake up and there it is.

There have been efforts made to keep expectations in check regarding this. I expect it to be “cool” or “neat” rather than earth shattering. Considering that it’s Jason Ronald I suspect it’s BC related.

FPS Boost is a fucking game changer. Watching the DF analysis now.
Series S running Watch Dogs 2 at 60 fps locked and it's silky smooth.
This is going to be an amazing feature. Well done MS. Bravo.

Wow, people going Hyper Spin trying to downplay FPS Boost right off the jump.

This honestly is just great for console gaming. I hope this becomes standard moving forward. I am really impressed.

I sure hope this works on more games than it doesn’t.
RDR2 at 60fps is perhaps my ultimate dream...but in Colt’s interview a great point was made that for big titles, game makers may want to do their own remakes which might mean that this technique might be more common on...uh...more obscure titles. This first list of 5 games was certainly an eclectic group of games. But it’s solid start.
Xbox is just becoming a ridiculously good value proposition in the gaming sphere. It’s weird....I find myself less and less sure I will pick up a PS5 at some point.

Same here. I spent the same amount for the Stealth 600 and it has less features.

I hope you get it. I played it on PC Game Pass and it was awesome and super fluid at higher FPS.
