Xbox Series X may support 4K/60FPS live streaming and recording -

Last week, Microsoft officially confirmed the price of the Xbox Series S. Since this confirmation, there have been a lot of discussions about the Xbox Series S. According to reports, this console which is a “low-end version” of Xbox Series X can perform almost all operations. However, it can not run games or play CDs in 4K (because it does not have an optical drive). In the official fact sheet shared by Microsoft, we also learned that another difference is that Xbox Series X can broadcast and record games at 4K resolution and 60fps.

As a comparison, Xbox One X can record games at 4K resolution and 30fps (but not live broadcast).  Since the Series X is an upgrade, there are speculations that it may support 4K live streaming and record at 60fps.  However, the instructions did not mention the live broadcast and recording functions of Xbox Series S, so we must wait for Microsoft’s official instructions.

As a reminder, 4K resolution live broadcast is only possible through YouTube, and Twitch’s current upper limit is 1080P/60FPS. Previously, Xbox has officially announced the pricing of Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, among which Xbox Series S is priced at $299, and Xbox Series X is priced at $499.
