Search for Sky Go and install. If the Go app from Sky app stops working on your Xbox One game console, you may need to perform a hard reset to clear its cache. To do this, follow the guided steps below. Without turning off the system, hold down the power button of your Xbox One for 10 seconds. Once it switches off, turn it back on. Sky Go; NOW TV; Sky Ticket; Apple TV; Apple TV+ is a big new addition to the Xbox family, with the service available on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S starting November 10. You'll even be able to sign up for the service directly from your Xbox, with a monthly fee of $4.99 giving you access to exclusive movies and TV shows.

Microsoft has confirmed the entertainment apps available on Xbox Series X and S at launch.

Apps already available on Xbox One will be available on Xbox Series X and S, Microsoft said. These include the likes of Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Spotify, Sky Go, Now TV and Amazon Prime Video.

But also out on 10th November is the Apple TV app. That's for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

Here's the US-focused list Microsoft provided in its announcement today (there will be more apps than on this list at launch, Microsoft stressed):

• Netflix
• Disney+
• HBO Max
• Spotify
• YouTube
• YouTube TV
• Amazon Prime Video
• Hulu
• NBC Peacock
• Vudu
• FandangoNow
• Twitch
• Sky Go
• Now TV
• Sky Ticket

Meanwhile, Microsoft confirmed the Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos tech is supported on Netflix, Disney+, and Vudu.

The Microsoft Store is twice as fast as before, Microsoft said in a blog post. The launch time of the Microsoft Store app is now about two seconds. You access apps in the refreshed Xbox dashboard experience in My Games & Apps.

There's a new Entertainment block for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, too, which showcases content across apps. For new Xbox owners, the Entertainment block is automatically pinned to Home. Existing gamers can scroll down to Add more > See all suggestions, select Entertainment, and add it to Home.

For comparison's sake, here are the entertainment apps launching with PlayStation 5.

Microsoft’s freshly-launched Xbox One X is a seriously powerful games console which also doubles as a premium home cinema system, thanks to its support for 4K HDR video streaming, UHD Blu-ray playback and other impressive media specs. Here’s how the One X will replace your current TV streamers and entertainment devices, plus how it compares with the Xbox One S and PS4 Pro for media chops.

Microsoft’s new Xbox One X console is an absolute demon. Billed as ’40 percent more powerful than any other console’, the One X is rammed to the nostrils with seriously strong specs. You can expect hyper-realistic visuals for your games sessions, which might get a little disturbing when ploughing through grannies in GTA and the rest.

Of course, consoles these days aren’t just a workout for your thumbs. As well as playing adrenaline-fuelled games, the likes of the Xbox and PS4 Pro can stream 4K quality movies and shows from online services like Netflix. You get built-in optical drives for enjoying UHD Blu-rays and can even plug in other streamers, to expand their functionality.

So how does the Xbox One X stack up as a home entertainment centre and is it better than the One S and Sony’s PS4 Pro? Here’s all you need to know.

If you’re not the patient type (the One X doesn’t hit the UK until November 2017), check out our guides on using the Xbox One S as a home cinema system and using the PS4 Pro as a home cinema system.

Xbox One X vs One S vs PS4 Pro: 4K video streaming

Like the Xbox One S and PS4 Pro before it, Microsoft’s shiny new console can of course stream video in up to 4K Ultra HD resolution. That means movies and shows will be blasted at your eyeballs with a glorious 3840×2160 pixel resolution.

That’s not it for the gorgeous visuals, however. Full HDR10 support will offer a wide colour gamut, combined with strong contrast between light and dark areas to produce hyper-realistic images.

This all means that the Xbox One X will work as a centre for streaming 4K and HDR content via the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video, YouTube and other online services. Available content is set to explode in 2017, as many devices now support 4K and HDR media – including phones like the Sony Xperia XZ Premium.

The existing One S already offers support for 4K HDR video streaming of course, as does Sony’s PS4 Pro. So if you already own one of those consoles, you don’t need to upgrade to the One X to enjoy Ultra HD.

Of course, if you don’t have a 4K HDR-ready TV, you won’t be able to enjoy the powerful visuals on offer. Likewise, you’ll need to ensure that your home is set up for 4K streaming, if you want to enjoy UHD Netflix video. So you may need to factor those into the overall price if you’re thinking of upgrading.

Xbox One X vs One S vs PS4 Pro: Movies on disc

The One X isn’t just built for streaming video, however. Microsoft’s console is also a 4K and HDR Ultra High Definition Blu-ray player, thanks to its built-in disc drive. Good news, as we’re seeing a strong collection of 4K HDR Blu-rays released these days. Plus, if you’ve seen our best 4K Blu-ray players round-up, you’ll know they aren’t exactly cheap.

The One S also offers UHD Blu-ray playback, so again there’s no difference between the two Xbox consoles. However, Sony rather strangely decided to not bother with a 4K Blu-ray drive, presumably on a cost-cutting mission. So if you want to enjoy those crisp Ultra HD visuals, you’ll have to stick to streaming.

Xbox One X vs One S vs PS4 Pro: Audio quality

One fully expected addition to the One X is the support for Dolby Atmos surround sound.

Dolby Atmos uses upfiring speakers to offer the most immersive sound experience possible. As far as surround sound goes it’s impressively accurate, as long as your speaker setup (or headphones) can handle it.

Microsoft has already rolled out Dolby Atmos support to the Xbox One S as well as the original Xbox One, so we’d have been shocked not to see it included as standard in the One X. This is mainly used for more immersive gaming, so you can hear bullets coming at you from every angle. However, Dolby Atmos will also work for movies, to take full advantage of that Ultra HD Blu-ray player.

While the One S also supports Dolby Atmos, Sony’s PS4 Pro does not; you’re stuck with standard Dolby Digital. That’s another win for Microsoft, then.

Xbox One X vs One S vs PS4 Pro: Connectivity

The One X sports an HDMI 2.0b port for outputting video at 2160p resolution, at 60Hz.

You also have an HDMI 1.4b port for input. That means you’ll be able to use Microsoft’s device as a pass-through for your existing set-top box. So even the likes of 4K UHD Sky can be accessed via your console controller and home screen, without the need to switch to a different feed.

Ports are rounded off by three USB connections.

Xbox One X vs One S vs PS4 Pro: Storage

Sky Go Xbox One X Bundle

Microsoft packs 1TB of storage space into the new One X console as default. That’s a good amount of room for installing games, downloading DLC and of course sticking a load of movies and music onto your console, to enjoy at your leisure.

Sky Go Xbox One Xenoverse

The older One S starts at 500MB but you can pay a little more for more storage, if desired. The same goes for the Playstation PS4 Pro.

Xbox One X UK price and release date

Microsoft’s new Xbox One X will hit the UK in November 2017, specifically November 7. The asking price is £449. Not cheap, but considering the performance and features on offer, that’s really not a bad deal.
