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.”

Xbox One S has 3 USB ports too. 1 on the front and 2 on the back.

Well, that much is obvious. Of course, most things require updates before use. Take headsets for example. when you hook them up, you have to update the controller it's plugged into.

That's cool to hear an update for the 4K Support.

An update to upscale the content to 4K, which most 4K TVs all ready do.

Still bummed that it doesn't come with a headset.

Every single Xbox One needs an update when turning it on for the first time, Xbox One S too. That's not something new, but in this case he has to wait for the Summer Update to release, then he needs to update a second time. If you get the Xbox One S after the Summer Update is out (probably out August 2nd) you will only need to update it once like every Xbox One has needed to do when turning it on for the first time ever since 2013.
