good morning

Yes, you can still play online games on your Xbox Series X without 4K enabled. Enabling 4K resolution will consume more internet data, as the console will need to download and stream higher resolution textures, graphics, and other content. This can be especially taxing if you're playing a game with a lot of high-quality assets, like Destiny 2.

To minimize internet usage, you can disable 4K resolution and play the game at a lower resolution. This will reduce the amount of data that needs to be downloaded and streamed, which will help to conserve internet data. You can also try to lower the other graphic settings of the game to reduce also the usage.

Another option you have is to invest in a bigger internet package with more data allowance, it would solve the problem and you can keep playing 4k gaming but it's a monetary investment.

It's also worth noting that many online games, including Destiny 2, allow you to adjust the quality of various aspects of the game, such as shadows, reflections, and textures. Lowering the quality of these settings can also help to reduce internet data usage, which may allow you to play the game for longer periods of time before hitting your internet data limit.

Just keep in mind that if you lower the settings, the game will look worse but you will be able to play more without hitting the data limit.

Xbox one does NOT SUPPORT 4K gaming

Only the xbox one x and series x

One S nor the original and the series s allows it due to lack of power

Fyi xbox one s only supports 4k movies and streaming

Not games

They downgrade your resolution if it's not supported kn yoir console

So unless syou have.an xbox one x or.series x you don't have 4k

Even if the.game.supports it that's the max resolution not what the game.will.run.at.if you don't meet the above requirements

The discoloration is due to switching back and forth

Unless you havr an x or series x you should nt be running it unless you calibrate it to your tv for streaming and uhd movies which you can with the wizard

Because you are trying to turn on hdr in gaming when your console cannot if you don't havr an one x or serirs x or ps5

I would like to let you know that Fortnite only supports 1080p on the Xbox Series S. Only the Series X can play the game in 4K.
So when you use 4K in your Series S, the system is going to upscale the game resolution.

Let's try playing the game to the Xbox One first then save it again then go back to your Series console check if it let's you play the game. It seems to be that your saved data is not syncing properly with the Series X console. Also, try turning off HDR.

On your Xbox go to Settings, go to TV and display options.

Set the resolution to 1080

Under Advanced to the right click on video modes

Uncheck Allow 4K and HDR10

Restart the console then start the game.

In your situation, I would go with the Xbox Series S,

The Series S is aimed at 1080p / 1440p gaming,

The Series X is aimed at 4K gaming,

Getting a Series X would mean that your spending an extra £/$200 to not play at 4K,

You could use that £/$200 saved by getting the Series S and a 1Tb SSD expansion card for about the same price as the Series X,
