Xbox have revealed more info on its Smart Delivery program for the Xbox Series X, coming later this year.
Smart Delivery allows for the most optimised version of a supported game to be played across the Xbox One and Xbox Series X without having to purchase an additional copy. Essentially, if you have a copy of a game on Xbox One that supports Smart Delivery and you decide to upgrade to Xbox Series X, an updated version of the game for Xbox Series X is automatically provided to you at no additional cost.
Xbox have also explained that Smart Delivery will be available to all developers, with all Xbox Games Studios titles being supported, such as Halo Infinite. Both digital and physical copies of games will have Smart Delivery support.
To further clarify how Smart Delivery functions, Xbox have provided a few scenarios on how a user will benefit from it.
No doubt that Smart Delivery will be highly welcomed by Xbox users, as it won’t be necessary to re-purchase any games to take advantage of the features in the Xbox Series X. If a game does not have Smart Delivery support as yet, it can still be played on the Xbox Series X via backwards compability.
To top it all off, Xbox have also mentioned that all save data will transfer over from Xbox One to Xbox Series X. This effectively includes your game library, progression and entire gaming legacy.
The list of Smart Delivery supported games at Xbox Series X launch are listed below.
