Can I connect my Xbox to MacBook Pro 16"

I know the usb port is only to transfer your Mac screen to another, but, if I get a usb-c to HDMI adapter can I connect my Xbox to my Mac?

MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)

The highest data rate of anything on your Mac is the data rate for display data. The MacBook Pro is purpose-built as a computing device with built-in display.


Macs do not have ANY display Inputs -- the data rates are too high, and the timing is too unforgiving to support that. To use an external display on your Xbox, connect a purpose built device with display INPUTS. Such as a TV set.
