NEW FEATURES:

• Download 4K Game Content
We’ve added a great new setting that’ll help you get ready for Xbox One X by downloading available 4K game content ahead of time. Download 4K content on your external games & apps storage device and plug the device into your Xbox One X to play right away! If you don’t have an external storage device, you can also download 4K game content directly to your current console, then transfer your games & apps to your Xbox One X using network transfer to get started faster.
NOTE: This feature was enabled via live setting and is currently available without downloading this system update.

• Backup Settings
Streamline setup on a new console by backing up your account and key system settings to an external games & apps storage device. Plug the storage device in your new console before setting up to transfer your backed up settings. To access these features, open the Guide and navigate to System > Settings > System > Backup & transfer.
NOTE: This feature was enabled via live setting and is currently available without downloading this system update.
