Do You Need an Official Microsoft HDMI Cable for Xbox?

No. Any high-quality HDMI cable works with Xbox.

• Official cables are often more expensive than generic equivalents.

What to Consider When Choosing

• Length: Long enough to reach from Xbox to TV.
• HDMI Version: For best quality, choose HDMI 2.0 or higher.
