The Xbox revision will feature support for 4K movie playback from Blu-ray and the New High Dynamic Range video that increases the depth and range of color on display with an HDR-complaint TV. This update makes X-box One S the only console that allows users to enjoy Blu-ray movies and streaming 4K Ultra HD. Xbox one games the likes of Scalebound, Forza Horizon 3, Gear of war will look better due to high contrast ratio between darks and lights, bringing top quality true visual depth of your favorite games.

Microsoft has already noted that all pre-orders placed to date will arrive on August 2, pending regional availability.
