Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra confirmed earlier today via his official Twitter account that theBlu-ray Player app for the Xbox Onewould be getting an update which would add support for 4K television sets. “Yes, the BR app on Xbox One will soon upscale to 4K for those with 4K TVs,” his tweet said.

While the newerXbox One S video game consolehas support for playing 4K Blu-rays, this app update will not bring that specific functionality to the regularXbox One. Instead, it will simply allow for upscaling of regular Blu-rays when played on 4K television sets. This should, in theory, improve the overall presentation of the media.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
