Kicking off this list at number 10 is easy use previous cables
Finding the right cables can be a drag with any console since there are so many freaking cables in our set ups thankfully
Microsoft kept this in mind while making the Xbox one X and made the Xbox 1s cables fully compatible with it
Thank you guys obviously the newer cables with the X are gonna run smoother since they're newer
But if you happen to misplace any cables for the new console
And you already own the S. You automatically already have a spare set good to go at
number 9
Everybody's always worried about your files your data everything from your older console
transferring files
from your previous
Console a lot of people seem to think that the Xbox one X you will have to start completely over with all your save files
But that's not the case at all if you own an Xbox one or an Xbox one s
Before getting the X you can transfer all of your save files from hard drive to hard drive which
It's pretty easy now used to be harder if you get a USB Drive
You can put it in your old console and go to the my games and apps then move everything onto that USB
Put the USB into your new console and move the files onto the new hard drive this way
You don't have to lose any save files when you read download all your favorite Xbox games on your new system now
I wish I knew about this trick when I moved from the different Xbox 360 models years back
Because I honestly lost a lot of save files when I did it to just rip all those old gaming
experiences at
number eight enabling your Xbox DVR
The Xbox DVR is an awesome feature that has it was on the original console and it returns on the X with a few added
perks if you have the DVR enabled you can hit the center button click X and
automatically record the last 30 seconds of gameplay you can even go as far back as
5 minutes of gameplay if you want, this is great for people who like to make montages of multiplayer games
But don't want to have to record the entire game in an elgato for just one or two clips the Xbox DVR
allows you to hit a clip and then just snap open the dashboard and
Automatically record it to your console for you to capture in your Elgato
Whenever you feel like it with the Xbox one X you can now do all those previously mentioned things in
4k making your montages look even better the Xbox one DVR
Previously captured at 30fps was somewhat of a dropped resolution in order to keep it smooth, but to my understanding
The Xbox one X will be powerful enough to run the DVR at a full
4k
60fps making your clips look as good as honestly possibly they can that if you upload a clip to Xbox Live it will be converted
down to 1080p but the original
4k clip will be saved to your hard drive for you to keep and do whatever you want with a
Number 7 download the enhanced patches the main feature the Xbox one X is its ability to run 4k games and the fact that
older Xbox one games are getting updated for enhanced visuals
But a lot of people are forgetting that you have to manually download those patches
Because the older Xbox one models cannot run 4k the games
do not
Automatically download the enhanced patches since they would just be taking up space for no reason on the older consoles
so if you have an Xbox 1x
And you want to play a game in 4k
Go to your games and apps and under the games tab you should get the option to see all the games that you own that
have enhanced patches available go ahead start downloading them, and you should be good to go a
number six making sure your TV can run the games
Just because your console can run games at super high settings does not mean your TV is ready for them
Even if your TV or monitor is capable of running your games at super high settings
You need to make sure it's prepared to do so as a lot of these TVs are not set to these settings by default
Okay, if you have a 4k capable TV or monitor go into your settings and make sure that the HDR is enabled for the HDMI
Port that your Xbox is plugged into this will make running 4k games
Actually worth it as if you don't have to have the setting turn on you won't get the full experience of the game the HDR
Widens the color spectrum and helps with the contrast of the frame rates when showing things with ultra high detail because nothing is missed in
4k so
Make sure that your TV is
Actually ready for your console
Cracking into the top 5 check to see what games are actually
Enhanced when you go to your games and apps on the Xbox itself you should be able to see what games have updates ready for
You to download and use in game, but if there's a system update waiting on your console
Or if you want to see if there's 4k support for a game that you don't own yet
You can go to the Xbox website to see a full list of the games that got
Enhanced ok enhanced patches to help performance on the Xbox 1x
You are probably going to be surprised with how many games have received that enhanced patch so far
and it's not just the Xbox one games a
Number 4. This is a good one right here breaking out your old Xbox 360 games
Microsoft is really embracing the idea of backwards compatibility
And they have finally expanded their library of 360 and og original Xbox games
drastically many of which have been
Updated with the Xbox one act there have been a ton of Xbox 360 and OG xbox games that have gotten
compatibility updates to help bump up the resolution and frame rates when you're playing with them on the new X so be sure
To keep checking in on the online list of enhance games, so you know what to buy or what to download next?
there's nothing like bringing out the game that used to play when you were younger and getting to play it again with better resolution and
And improved framerate at 60fps was not the standard back in the days of the 360 and definitely
Not the standard it with the original Xbox mini games like the original Assassin's Creed fallout 3 Gears of War 3 and even
Halo 3 have gotten huge visual upgrades for running on the X and there are patches currently in development for Witcher 3
Skyrim rocket League and the super popular pub G
At number three get the Xbox games past this isn't as much of a hack you can do for the console itself
but rather just something that every Xbox owner should probably have the Xbox games past is a
Subscription service that Microsoft has and if you own it on your console you instantly get access to hundreds of games in the digital store
And it's not just random indie games either. It's big triple-a titles like Halo 5 Gears of War Saints Row
BioShock Infinite we can go on and on and on if you have an Xbox one X and you're not sure if you want to
Buy a bunch of games just yet get a month of the Xbox games past as a way of trying it out
It's like a free well. It's not free trial, but it's pretty cheap to try them all out
It's only ten bucks a month and you get two weeks free when you sign up so there's really no reason not to do it
And over to remapping your buttons
This is a feature present on the Xbox one
But it's definitely worth pointing out for all the new Xbox one X owners the ability to remap buttons was originally introduced for the Xbox
one elite controllers
But recent updates have made it possible for all
Controllers to do it now if you go into your settings and find the devices tab
You should find your controller settings from here
You can remap all the buttons and save it to a specific user so that way not all the controllers on the console get changed
this feature is
Super helpful especially if you own a scuf controller or an Xbox elite controller with paddles on the back as it
Definitely is going to help you be more comfortable with every little feature
Not every specific game has the ability to remap bugs right now so being able to remap the entire controller is an awesome feature
and
The final tip I can give you guys
you are now the proud owner of an xbox one ex is simple get an external hard drive while 4k games are fantastic and they
They're awesome. They take up a ton of space if you thought the games were big already 4k games are even bigger as they've had
tons of extra storage space in order to make room for the enhanced visuals while you may not mind just deleting and downloading two to
three games at a time chances
Are you would prefer to have a bunch of games installed all at once so you don't have to wait hours whenever you want to
Play something new the best way to do this is an external
USB hard drive the prices on these vary depending on how big the hard drive is and
Where you buy it from but I promise if you hunt a little bit
You'll be able to find a good deal
And it shouldn't run you too much of an extra cash so give it a go and make sure you have that extra storage on
Hand and ready and there you have it my friends. Those are ten. Simple hacks FAQs tips tricks
