Xbox Insiders can now download 4K assets ahead of Xbox One X launch

A new Xbox One update is rolling out to Xbox Insiders, implementing features to smoothen the transition to the upcoming Xbox One X.

Microsoft continues to roll out new features to members of the Xbox Insider Program, ahead of a major system update in the works for Xbox One this fall. Offering a range of visual changes and increased functionality, the update lays the foundations for the launch of the Xbox One X on November 7. Among the biggest changes is a new dashboard influenced by Microsoft's Fluent Design System, a modular Home menu, a reworked Guide menu.

A new Xbox One preview update is rolling out to the Alpha ring today, alongside two new features for all Xbox Insiders running 1710 builds. In preparation for the upcoming Xbox One X, this adds the ability to download 4K assets for supported Xbox One games ahead of the console's official launch. Users can also now back up console settings to external storage, aiming to streamline the move to a new console.
