It’s been a long time coming, but it looks like YouTube finally has HDR support on Xbox consoles. It doesn’t matter if you’re using a console from this generation or the last, if you’re streaming YouTube on a TV that supports HDR, you should be able to tap into HDR while you watch. This is something that has apparently been in the works for a number of years, but it’s here now at last.
That’s according to Flat Panels HD, at least, which tested YouTube on both an Xbox One S from the previous generation and an Xbox Series X from the current generation. That means HDR support is very likely available on Xbox One X and Xbox Series S as well, despite the fact that YouTube wasn’t tested on those two platforms.
