The YouTube app on Xbox One has been updated to stream in 4K on both Xbox One S and Xbox One X.

HDR, sadly, isn’t part of the equation — so don’t get too excited.

Users should start seeing their YouTube app automatically update shortly, though those who are impatient can head to the Microsoft Store to speed up the process.

What do you make of the update — are you happy enough with 4K capabilities, or would you rather enjoy videos with HDR support, Or, better yet, why not both?

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
