Xbox One: Ab sofort ohne Umwege! August Update der Xbox App liefert offiziell die "very high"-Option der Streaming-Qualität

Vor einigen Tagen haben wir euch noch berichtet, dass es eine versteckte Möglichkeit gibt, die Streaming-Qualität von Xbox One auf Windows 10 zu erhöhen und nun braucht man diesen "Umweg nicht mehr. Mittlerweile wurde das August-Update für die Xbox App ausgerollt und dieses liefert, mit weiteren Neuerungen, ganz offiziell die Option im Einstellungsmenü. Sofern die Bandbreite im eigenen Netzwerk es ermöglicht, werden damit Streams mit 60 fps und 1080p geboten. Alle neuen Features des Updates stellt Major Nelson noch im Video vor.



1080p/60fps Game Streaming – You can now stream games from your Xbox One to Windows 10 devices in high-res HD quality at 1080p/60fps. The new streaming capability works best for gamers who have home networks with adequate bandwidth. In the Xbox app on Windows 10, go to Settings > Game Streaming and set the video encoding level to Very High, which will then stream games from your Xbox One to your Windows 10 PC at 1080p and 60fps (frames per second).

Right Click – You can now right-click on one of your friends and select Send Message or Invite to Party to more quickly connect with your friends.

Notifications – Starting today, you can enable or disable notifications for when you are invited to a party or a multiplayer game via Settings > General > Party & Games Invitations.

Recently Played – Now you will see an animated display alternately showing you how many friends have played each game along with the four most recent players. The display will then switch to show a second tile with your last played date, Gamerscore and Achievements percentage complete. If you click on the game, it will take you to the Game Hub, where you can see a list of all of your friends who have played the game sorted by most recently played along with their online status.

Compare Achievements with a Friend – You can now compare your achievement status with one of your friends who has played the game. From a Game Hub page, select Achievements > Compare at the top right above the list of all of the achievements.

My Games – We updated My Games to support a grid view with a jump list, where your games are now displayed in a grid sorted alphabetically. If you click on a letter, you can collapse the list and then select a specific letter of the alphabet to more quickly find a game. The list of games that are automatically discovered has been updated as well.

Add Games – The ability to manually add games to your collection that have a link in the Start Menu by selecting My Games > Add a game from your PC has been updated with a help link to help you add games to your collection.
