Although the focus is on Xbox Series, the previous generation has not been completely forgotten. Xbox One has received a system update in the last few hours that, without major prior announcements, solves a problem that was affecting certain users.

The error in question prevented the correct use of remote play on HD Ready screens (720p). Some players encountered failures when trying to start the transmission or were directly unable to play under these conditions. With this new firmware, the function returns to operating normally at this type of resolution.

All the improvements included in the new Xbox One update

Although the official change log is brief, these are the confirmed and observed improvements after installation:

• Fix for remote play error on 720p (HD Ready) screens

• Compatibility adjustments also applied to Xbox Series

• General system stability improvements

• Optimization of internal firmware processes

• Minor adjustments related to security and background performance

Very important

• The problem did not only affect Xbox One, but also Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, so the update has also been deployed on the current generation of Microsoft consoles.

Beyond the specific correction of remote play, no new visible functions have been detected in the interface or changes in the dashboard. The classic message of “general stability improvements” is again present in the changelog, indicating that it is mainly a corrective patch.

Still, it’s interesting to check that Xbox One continues to receive active support more than a decade after its release. For those who continue to use the console as their primary or secondary system, this type of update reinforces compatibility with current services and guarantees a more stable experience in functions like remote play.
