Xbox One X menu highlights enhanced games, but not without issues

The Xbox One’s new dashboard has a great feature for Xbox One X owners: It lets users filter their game library to show titles that have been updated with enhancements for the new console, like 4K resolution. But at the moment, a few days before the system’s public launch, the filter isn’t working properly.

Microsoft introduced new sorting and filtering options for the Xbox One’s My Games & Apps screen in last month’s system update. Xbox One X owners have the ability to hide all games without “Xbox One X Enhanced” updates, which is a very handy option. Microsoft generally does a much better job in the area of transparency than Sony does with the PlayStation 4 Pro, and this is just one element of that.

However, the sorting is currently leaving out some games for which Xbox One X updates have indeed been released. When we took the above screenshot last night, at least one enhanced game, Assassin’s Creed Origins, wasn’t showing up in the list. (Dishonored 2 appears to have been updated as well, although according to the Xbox website, the patch isn’t live yet.) Both games are still missing now.

Of course, this user-friendly feature isn’t very useful if the search results aren’t accurate. A Microsoft representative acknowledged the problem in a statement to Polygon, saying the company is “aware that for some users, games aren’t being filtered as Xbox One X Enhanced in ‘My games and apps.’” The spokesperson added that the Xbox team is “working to resolve the issue.”
