4k Upscaling for Games on Xbox One S

This feature is hidden away in the video output options, but you can change 1080p to 4k UHD upscaling on the Xbox One S.

I cannot hype this feature enough, and I am really shocked to learn that you have to turn it on. Obviously it is auto 4k when it comes to video or 4k bluray playback, but the upscaling on actual games is a massive improvement.

I did a quick test on Rise of the Tomb Raider, by standing still and looking at the environment and then quickly going to settings, switching to 4k UHD from 1080p and the results are actually quite remarkable. It looks astounding in comparison. So much smoother and less jaggy.

When you look online, you really struggle to find any article or videos bar a few that discuss this. It is a huge feature and I don't know why it isn't being talked about more.

I mean seriously, if the Playstation Pro can basically market a machine based on upscaling (I don't believe that it can perform true 4k unless it is on really old games with a real push), then MS should at the very least be promoting this massively impressive feature.

It is making me go through a back catalogue of games just to see the improvement - next up; Halo 5!

I played some Red Dead Redemption and set it to 720p/1080p and then 4k. For anyone looking for an experiment, try this out.

TL:DR - MS should promote themselves more. 4k upscaling on a machine at this juncture is something they should be praised for. The results are awesome.
