Having issues outputting your Xbox One S in 4k? Try this if you have a 4K Blu-Ray.

Hey WILDman260,

Are specifically having this issue with the 4K Blue-Ray version of Oblivion as well? I saw that you mentioned 4K Blu-Rays worked before the update, did you set up your Xbox One S and try a 4K Blu-ray before updating?

Ghostshrimp,

Thanks for posting this up, are there any other Universal Studios 4K Blu-Ray movies that you can try out as well? In the meantime, please try uninstalling the Blu-Ray app, power cycle your Xbox One S console by holding the power button, and then reinstall
the Blu-Ray app.

Let us know how it goes!

Xbox One S outputs game content at 1080p and with an HDR color palette, if the game supports it. So no, you are not seeing it in 4K. If you want to see the compatible game in 4K resolution, you would need to use Xbox One X.

However, Xbox One S will output video content in 4K, such as UltraHD 4K Blu-ray discs and 4K content from streaming services like Netflix.

Hi there,

let me try to answer your questions.

1 and 2. Yes it can play 4K Blu-ray discs and Yes when set to 4K output it will upscale the content. See this snippet from the support page: "When you set your console resolution to 4K UHD, everything on the console—Home, games, and apps—will display at
4K. 4K content is displayed in its native 4K resolution, and other content (like 1080p content) is upscaled to 4K."

This is the link to the support page with the information:

I recently tried watched The Force Awakens on my xbox one s rather than my blu ray player, and i must say, i was absolutely impressed with the blu ray upscale. Although keep in mind that it was connected to an Hdmi port that supported UHD color on a 4k Samsung
Tv

I am having a similar issue. My xbox one s and tv support all video functions, and when gaming or in the menus, my tv shows that the output is in 4k. As soon as I load up Deadpool 4k blu-ray, my tv shows that the output is 1080p.. Any ideas?

Thanks.
