While a game is running, simply open the Xbox Guide by hitting the Xbox button on your controller. Now, with the November 2020 Xbox Console Update, you can find out which games are actually making use of this tech. Microsoft's next-gen consoles launched with a powerful new feature, Auto HDR, that converts old standard-dynamic-range (SDR) titles to high-dynamic-range (HDR) on the fly, without the need of any additional work from the developer. Alongside, the Games section will now sport “Optimised for X|S” badges, telling you at a glance which titles will make the most use of your new Xbox Series X or Series S. For starters, you've six new dynamic background choices - a feature exclusive to next-gen - with some of them paying homage to previous generations of Xbox consoles. All the other new features are largely for Xbox Series S/X owners only.

The pre-install feature for Xbox Game Pass titles is one of a few additions that come with the November 2020 Xbox Console Update. Not all games will support pre-load, Microsoft notes, but you can still queue them for download the instant they are available, via the app. You can pre-install Xbox Game Pass titles from a new “Coming Soon” section available on your console or in the Xbox Game Pass app for Android and iOS. Xbox Game Pass members can now pre-load upcoming games, thanks to the new November 2020 Xbox Console Update - Microsoft should have just waited a day and called it the December 2020 update - announced Monday, and now rolling out for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
