Dolby Vision for Xbox One – 1810 System Update

Quickly following our news-packed Gamescom Inside Xbox show, we have even more news for our Xbox Insiders as Dolby Vision™ HDR releases today on Xbox! Starting with the Alpha Skip Ahead and Alpha rings, Xbox Insiders with a compatible TV can enjoy Dolby Vision streaming content on Netflix on Xbox One S and Xbox One X. 

The team at Xbox is always striving to improve the Xbox ecosystem, and these features will continue to be shaped by fan feedback—we appreciate every thought and idea shared!  Enjoy trying out this new feature and providing your valuable feedback as the hype train begins. 

What is Dolby Vision? 

Dolby Vision transforms your TV experience with ultravivid picture quality — incredible brightness, contrast, and color that bring entertainment to life before your eyes. When compared to a standard picture, Dolby Vision can deliver colors never seen before on a screen, incredible contrast, highlights that are up to 40 times brighter, and blacks that are 10 times darker. The result is a refined, lifelike image that will make you forget you are looking at a screen. If you would like to learn more about what Dolby Vision is capable of, check out this video. 

To experience Dolby Vision on Xbox One S or Xbox One X 

To start enjoying this feature today, you need a TV that supports the latest version of Dolby Vision and a Premium Netflix subscription. There are over 400 hours of content available in Dolby Vision on Netflix including Altered Carbon, Stranger Things, Marvel’s The Punisher, Lost In Space, and many more (just look for the Dolby Vision™ logo).
