When it comes to using the Xbox Series X as a 4K Blu-ray player then, you’ll be fine if you’ve just got the a few UHD movies to watch. Xbox Series X 4K Blu-ray player conclusion Plus, when it comes to playing standard Blu-rays, the 4K upscaling is a little fuzzier on the Xbox Series X than other players. It’s definitely something you’ll want to consider if you’re planning to use this as your primary player. Our colleages at What Hi-Fi? agree, noting that “4K images tend to look a little ‘rougher’ too, with slightly more dot crawl in areas of fine detail or subtle colour blends a more jagged look to some curved or very thin lines and even some faint but occasionally noticeable horizontal line structure over certain types of image elements - especially clouds and thin horizontal lines” in their PS5 vs Xbox Series X Blu-ray player comparison.

The soundscape overall is good quality but there have been numerous reports of occasional audio lag on certain system combinations. There’s no charge for DTS but you’ll just need to remember to go into the audio settings and check the box to ‘Allow passthrough.’ It’s an extra step, but nothing too tricky and once it’s done you can just leave it alone.

If you’re going to be using Dolby Atmos through a soundbar or home theater system, it’s free to use – but if you’re planning on listening through a gaming headset to 3D audio support, you’ll need to pay a one off fee of $15 through the Dolby Access app to use Dolby Atmos with headphones. Head to the Microsoft Store and you can download both apps. The only thing you’ll need to remember is that they’re not there automatically out of the box.
