Microsoft's Xbox One X can now stream 4K YouTube

Alongside Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and, lattery, the BBC iPlayer, YouTube is fast becoming one of the leading places for 4K content. And since the Xbox One X sees itself as a home media centre as well as a games console, a marriage between the two seems very fitting.

So it's nice to see that, from today, the X is receiving an updated YouTube app supporting 4K video up to 60fps. The update is only for Microsoft's top console, leaving those with an Xbox One or Xbox One S behind.

Could Microsoft's Xbox consoles offer wireless hi-res audio support?
