Xbox One X UI Will Have “Xbox One X Enhanced” Games Filter, Will Possibly Have A New Boot Screen

Microsoft Marketing Manager Albert Penello recently took to Twitter to answer a number of questions regarding the soon-to-arrive Xbox One X. It seems that Microsoft is leaving no room for failure with the latest console, judging from Penello’s answers to fans.

One user asked which cables would be suitable for the Xbox One X and whether these will ship with the console itself. As confirmed by Albert Penello, owners of the Xbox One X will not need to purchase any additional HDMI cable as it will already ship with suitable cables (the same ones used for both the Xbox One and the Xbox One S).

Players will obviously be able to play the Xbox One version of a game until an update for the Xbox One X version rolls out. However, even without this update, the increased power should ensure that the game will run better on the new console.

Updates to the Xbox One X version will automatically be downloaded as well unless players opt out. There will also be a new filter under “My Games” titled “Xbox One X Enhanced” which will list what games have updates available for the Xbox One X.

Let us know in the comments below if you’re looking forward to the release of the Xbox One X and what games you’re looking forward to try on it.

We test them ourselves and make the cables. Got so much grief at X1 launch talking about it but our pack-in cables are pretty good.

Yes, in fact the one that came with both the Xbox One S, and original Xbox One are high-speed cables.

Yes. Depends on how the title was built, but you should still see load times, 16xAF, or res/fr improvements even without a 4k udpate

They will be auto-downloaded like any other title update, unless you opt out.

"My Games" will be sortable by a new filter called "Xbox One X Enhanced" You will see this on X1S as well to know what games have updates.

Yes. It acts like any other title update. Game will run with X1 graphics until the update comes.
