Pre downloading 4K assets for Xbox one x

If you're plugging into an Xbox One X, the games may well be pulling in 4K assets, if they are One X enhanced titles. On Xbox One S, there is a setting to

enable the download of 4K assets if you intend on moving the drive between consoles.

Hi,

when you play a game that is xbox one x enhanced you'll get a update prompt to download the 4k assets in order to play the game in 4k

Hi

I think this feature is part of the next big dashboard update that should be released before Xbox One X becomes available. I also think it is probably a little early to be trying to pre download 4JK content as I don't think any has
yet been released to pre download.

Hi,

Be aware that that there are one or two ways Xbox One enhanced games work when it comes to 4K. Some games are simply optimised to run in 4K resolution and nothing else is added to the game code. The textures remain the same as the standard Xbox, but everything
looks sharper and crisp because the game is running natively at 3840x2160.

For example Assassins Creed Origins and Assassins Creed Odyssey run in 4K with HDR, but have no additional 4K assets. Wolfenstein The New Colossus has no 4K assets either, just a resolution bump.

I don't think Shadow of the Tomb Raider has 4K assets. The Division doesn't have 4K assets either, as far as I'm aware. However, it does need the latest patch to run in 4K. If you ran the Division in offline mode straight after the disc install on an
Xbox One X, it will play as if it were running on a standard Xbox One.

I don't think RDR2 has any 4K assets, the game simply runs in 4K on the One X console. The Patch does not contain any additional texture data for the One X platform.

Do you have the download 4k assets option switched on?

It's in the Backup&Transfer options

Apparently the main function of shrink option is to be able to delete all the 4k assets to save hard drive space. This is especially useful on the OG xbox One and the Xbox One S as they can't actually use the 4k assets
