MK11 is already showing up as SX-upgraded, but I can't really tell the difference. Maybe it's just the resolution bump and proper enhancements will arrive with Ultimate next week. You can still see low-res shadows on faces.

"If you cancel formatting when you connect a storage device, you can set it up later:
1. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select Profile & system > Settings > System > Storage.
2. Select your device then select Format."

I’ll give it a shot, but every time I selected it the options haven’t included format as an option. Actually in line getting some new cables to see if that might help. When even trying to set it as a capture device (not that I want that) it said the device is too slow and isn’t usb 3.0. Figured it’s worth a shot on that end...upside of being 10 minutes from a Microcenter.

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
Yakuza 7 is awesome. The longest load screen is about .5 seconds. Going from the old xbox one to the series X is crazy. I downloaded skate 3 tetris and some other small games to try out quick resume and that's an amazing feature as well. I believe it's just utilizing the one x upgrade but drat going from the one to the series for Skate 3 is crazy. It's so clear and crisp.

Glad to see the capture/share system is still utter garbage even on the new machines. Trying to share or trim a video just straight up crashes the app 50% of the time. SDR content is super crushed and HDR content fails the conversion for posting.

I was stuck at 35Mb downloading Forza stuff until I tried to actually play a game, then it jolted itself out of some weird low speed mode and started d/ling at full speed again. Maybe a coincidence. I wonder if CDN's started throttling at some point.

For whatever reason if the dl speed plummets Ive had incredible success pausing then restarting. Yakuza 7's patch was downloading at 20 kilobytes per second and then after reset jumped back up to 50mbps

Even on PC, you have to be in a special beta, and then you have to load up a special world with ray tracing. I don't know if it's possible to generate a world on your own with ray tracing enabled.

I’ve been playing the next gen 2K and it’s really a game changer. There are no load times anymore. The graphics are amazing and my career is super fun. It really feels like the first next gen game.

I’m playing it for the first time in series x, and it feels amazingly fluid. It’s also great to flip to another game using suspend resume when I get killed for the fiftieth time in a row.

I can go from getting murdered by samurai to murdering civilians in GTA 5 in literally under 10 seconds.

One annoying thing, like all the previous souls games (and suspend/resume last gen) sekiro logs you out of the server after a while of idling so you get booted back to the menu screen if you leave it between sessions. Might go into offline mode to avoid this

I thought I was the only one. Been taking ages to download things. Mostly noticed when it's in sleep mode. I come back a few hours later and see a bunch of failed installs and data barely moving on the active downloads.

I've had to basically nurse each download. Stop. Resume. Hope this is only temporary.

It is temporary - there's just a lot of people downloading a lot of games and upgrading existing games right now. Get it all going overnight that should sort it, seems to pick up then. It's worse than this at Christmas

Have we talked about the fact that MS’ digital-only console only has 360ish GB of useable storage? Because that’s just incredible.

You can. Everything works the same as on your Xbox One X. The only thing you can't do with external storage is play Series X|S games, but you can store them.

Yeah, I think that as things sit right now, it’s a bigger problem than the GPU. Good news is it’s easy to add more storage in a hardware refresh. It’s harder for them to add more GPU, so if devs don’t want to think about it as a target then they’ll just stop selling it in 3 years.

Not everybody had an external SSD on there, but I’m rapidly fixing that thanks to the threads advice to get an internal drive and put it in an enclosure.

Do we think MS would block a game from releasing where the Series S version runs 30fps at 720p?

Some suckers didn't even have external drives, some people were too lazy to transfer from internal to external to take it to their new console, some were waiting to try games on the new console (i did this for sekiro, just downloaded it once my x landed) - but I imagine the vast majority is people downloading series X optimized versions - and people going gamepass crazy now they got a new console and are spending some time on it.

The series S games are a bit smaller, but this really isn't enough without an external drive thats for sure. Especially with gamepass

Games that are Xbox Series X|S Enhanced have to be upgraded to support the new features. For example, my copy of Dirt 5 had to download like 60gb of stuff before I could play it.
