Xbox Insiders are currently testing a new update that allows you to filter your library by 4K and HDR compatibility.
Microsoft has just released a new update to select Xbox Insiders which allows people to filter their games libraries by a number of different options, including 4K compatibility, HDR games, and Xbox One X enhanced games. Xbox One X
Unlike Sony, who has mandated that every game released should support the upgraded PS4 Pro, Microsoft is being a lot more laid back about letting developers choose to support the Xbox One X.
This means that pretty soon there will be games with varied levels of support rubbing shoulders with one another on the Xbox platform. Some will have no additional support, some will support HDR but not 4K, some will be in native 4K, and some will be Xbox One X ‘enhanced’ which might not necessarily mean 4K. HDR 4K
It’s a complicated situation, not least because Microsoft’s last console, the Xbox One S, supported HDR but not native 4K. Xbox One S
Hopefully these new filtering options will make it easier for Xbox owners to understand the varying levels of compatibility of their game libraries.
The new update is currently available for Xbox Insiders on the Alpha tier, but it’s expected that the functionality will roll out more broadly soon. Check out our preview of the Xbox One X. Xbox One X We’ve also rounded up the latest Xbox One X pre-order info. Xbox One X pre-order Via: Eurogamer
