While we had known about the 4K DVR capabilities of the Xbox One X for some time, we have now learned it’s better than anticipated. Mike Ybarra, Head of Xbox Platform Development, stated yesterday that it will not only record in 4K, but also at 60fps and most importantly, with HDR as well.

Our Take
This is very significant news for content creators. Very few gaming videos support 4K today but even fewer support HDR. To accomplish this otherwise, you need some rather expensive 3rd party hardware. To be able to do it out of the box with the Xbox One X is yet another feature that should be applauded.
