Xbox One S Will Require An Update For 4K Support

4.9

Someone appears to have unboxed an Xbox One S unit over in…well, Norway. (Thanks, GeeksULTD). You can check out the unboxing video below. Because you’re really not meant to break embargos, the Xbox One S unit here doesn’t appear to support 4K content out of the box, requiring a software update.

The uploader got his hands on the 2TB version of the Xbox One S. As promised my Microsoft, the new(ish) console has a much smaller footprint, and in the picture the uploader tweeted, it appears to fit very nicely in his TV cabinet. kurbo76, the owner of the Xbox One S unit, spoke about his console to GeeksULTD. This is what he had to say:

“There was no option for 4K. We had to do about a 4.5 gig update when it first powered on. We checked the display settings and it said 1080p. We changed HDMI cables and changed HDMI ports on the tv and nothing fixed the issue. Still won’t do 4K.”

Can't see the point in them rolling 4k out yet. Not that big a thing.

FriskyPanda Lmfao. "Doesn't support 4K at launch". **** Microsoft and consoles. I just switched to PC with a 1440p monitor and I absolutely love it. Consoles are too restricted.

It will support 4k at Launch, it hasn't launched yet. Every Xbox One needs an update when turning it on for the first time, the 4k update began to roll out today.

Think I'm going to pick this up next week!

This system looks pretty clean.

It does make sense actually, somewhat, but honestly it'd make even more sense if they load the day-1 update before day-1 even came. That way there'll be no down time for gamers, they'll just unbox, plug in, and off they go. It shouldn't be that hard...

The Xbox one S looks amazing but I still think I'm going to wait for Scorpio

I'm waiting for the Scorpio instead even though the Xbox One S does look pretty cool.

I didn't think it would need an update but never really thought it about it though, it makes sense in all honesty.
