It shouldn’t come as a surprise when we say that the Xbox version is behind the PC version in terms of content. To make everything a little clearer, we will create an overview that lists all the current differences between the two versions. That way you can keep track of which features will be released in a future update. The list is divided into a couple of categories, to make it easier to find the things you are looking for. If it is not in the list, then that means that it is available in both the Xbox version as the PC version of the game. In brackets the PC version is mentioned in which the feature has been introduced. Since the Xbox patch notes indicate up to which PC version it will be updated, this will make it easier to see which features are included.
The latest Xbox patch (v733) brought the Xbox up to, and including, pc version 238.

Upcoming versions
You can check the patch notes for PC and Xbox to see which features will be added to your games in the upcoming versions.
You forgot to mention how also the xbox version the graphics are severely degraded vs the PC version.
Yeah, we were not sure whether we had to add this, as we mostly focused on in-game items to show the differences between pc and xbox patches (and not in terms of graphics, as that has been tested intensively by others). However, since they might improve this in an upcoming patch, it might be better to add this also. Thanks for the input! 🙂

What about the Rex Skin?

It’s available for all Xbox One players (as it is listed under “Xbox Exclusives”), so not to PC players.
