Hi.
I have been playing SN on pc for a couple of years now. Today I am taking delivery of an XBox One X. Whilst I know that SN has not been specificaily enhanced for the XB1X capabilities, can somebody tell me where the XBox version is with updates, compared to the PC version? Is the XB version behind or at the same update as PC?
Thank you.

Cool, thanks Snails. Once the console arrives and is set up I’ll head over to FD and purchase it.
Hmmm... I am playing on an XB1X, on a 55” 4K HDTV ... I expected the graphics and performance to be better than this. Perhaps I was spoiled by the quality of the PC version, but this XB version is awful in comparison. I am in the safe shallows and the smoothness of game sometimes lags for a brief half-second, just as the PC version used to. The image is not as sharp as the PC version and the quality of the anti-aliasing is pretty poor, no matter what option I use.
Oh well, it’s still in development I guess, so hopefully it will improve.
Yes I would like to see this game use the full potential of the XB1X on a 4K TV
Maybe 2K? xD It's still better than 1080p.. barely.
Honestly, you really should take a look here before deciding you want 4K anything: https://designcompaniesranked.com/resources/is-this-retina/
If you put your size of display in, and it's "retina" at your normal viewing distance in 1080p (which is 1920x1080), then you don't need 4K (3840x2160). Retina meaning the human eye can't distinguish the pixels.
Most people would need either a huge display, or to be using their display from right in front of them, to benefit from 4K over 1080p resolution.
Or course, there's other factors, such as refresh rate, response time, HDR, etc etc etc, so you mind end up benefiting from a 4K anyways if you can't find a cheaper 1080p display that has all the other features you want.
Not sure if im reading this wrong but it makes no sense. “XBox will never run in 4K on the XBox One X (I assume XBX means XBox One X).
Utter nonsense. Sorry don't mean to offend but you are talking nonsense. I assume you've never played, for example, an enhanced for XBox1X game, such as Elite Dangerous, on XBox1X on a 4K TV, a game which has 1080 and 4K resolution graphics options. If you had you'd see a marked difference between the two. Its not a mind blowing difference ill grant you. But there is certainly a marked difference.
I notice this too on the XBox One X, which is supposed to be the most powerful of the current consoles.
You would certainly notice the difference standing in front of the display. But you would need to enter that viewing distance in your calculation. Either that, or the display was like 70+ inches. You're saying you can see the difference from a normal viewing distance (8+ feet) on a normal sized (30-60 inches) between 1080p and 4K? The only difference you should notice, is a massive drop in framerate as the GPU struggles to keep up.
Retina is Apple's trademark for a display so sharp that the human eye is unable to distinguish between pixels at a typical viewing distance.
As Steve Jobs said:
EDIT: I should say, if you're talking about a PC + Monitor and not a PC / Console + TV, then you'll definitely notice 4K for any display over about 15" (assuming you sit about 2' away from the screen).
It's the hard disk. Most power console, and they stick a 5400RPM hard disk in it. However, this will eventually be corrected with optimization.
Could I attach a USB external SSD drive to the XBox 1 X and install games on that?
Over the last few months, UWE has made significant improvements to the preloading process to mitigate these problems with slower drives. However, this kind of optimization can only help so much - and it is doubtful we will see more than minor additional improvements to this issue before 1.0 final is released on XBox.
P.S. USB 3.0 external drive will never be as fast as an internal drive, but an external SSD over USB might have minor improvement over an internal 5400rpm HDD - no guarantees there.
Yes. Make sure it's USB 3.0, and SSD is much better than a 7200RPM HDD, and that is noticeably better than 5400RPM.
@Racer1 That's true of SATA-3 (6 Gbps) vs USB 3.0 (5 Gbps), but just barely. USB 3.1 is 10 Gbps, however (but the XB1X does not have USB 3.1 ports, and you'd also need USB 3.1 enclosure for the drive). However, now you also have SATA-3.2 at 16 Gbps, etc etc, and let's not forget USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 at 20 Gbps.. lol
TL;DR: it really, really depends on the standards of the equipment used. Xbox internal HDD is 5400 RPM over a SATA 3 interface, IIRC, plus it's got USB 3.0 ports, so it's really easy to improve on that.
If you want to skim (or read) all the cool specs on the different generations of ATA and USB tech, read up here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB
I looked at some 1TB external USB 3/3.1 SSD. Woah, they are costly! 3300+ SEK
Think I will stick with the default drive it has. It plays Elite Dangerous vary well.
They'll be releasing an update that will bring the XB1 version very close to the Steam release version, with the goal of unlocking all the same content, I think. Otherwise, I don't think they have a specific release date set for XB1.
Should be in the pipe.
Please read the posts of this thread before your comment. It’s been mentioned more than once that the XB full version will a little later than the PC version.
