Xbox Fitness finally shuts down
On its way out for a long time now, Xbox Fitness has finally shut its doors. The closing of the application was announced quite a while ago, but aglimmer of hopefor fans popped up when they discovered that they could still use some of their downloaded workouts. Unfortunately,even those workouts are now defunct– marking the end of Xbox Fitness entirely until Microsoft makes some attempt to replace it.
Microsoft gives fans more reassurance: 4K upgrades will be free
It’s been mentioned offhandedly time and time again, but Microsoft’s Aaron Greenburghas confirmed once morethat 4K upgrades to games you own will be entirely free. If you own games that are better on Xbox One X, you will be charged absolutely nothing more for playing it in Native 4K with your new console.
Yes any title you own that adds a 4K update will be done for free.

Microsoft’s setup experience gets the Fluent Design treatment
Fluent Design is the future of Microsoft’s visual layout, and it’s starting tomake its way onto the Xbox One. While we’ve already seen Fluent Design’s influence on the quick menu, we’re now seeing a totally revamped first-time setup sequence for the console that fits the new style. It’s a pretty sleek re-imagining of the setup sequence, and uses graphic representations of the console and controller to help guide you along.
