The new update for the Xbox Series X confirms the sharp display of the dashboard in 4K resolution.
Xbox Series X owners can now download the brand new update for their console, which significantly enhances the dashboard’s own resolution. A feature that many users have liked in the past.
Previously, the dashboard was offered at 1080p’s own resolution and was later upgraded to 4K. The new update will change this and make the console menu sharper than before.
If you are having trouble finding a new option – some have even reported that their dashboard is stuck in 1080p resolution – we will show you how to set it all up here.
