Here a<\/em>t Xbox, we\u2019re building the future of gaming by putting players first<\/em> and ensuring that you<\/em>\u202fare at the center\u202fand in control\u202fof your gaming experience<\/em>. <\/em>Whether you\u2019re exploring<\/em> an expansive library of <\/em>Xbox Game Pass <\/em>titles <\/em>with <\/em>more than <\/em>10 million of <\/em>your fellow <\/em>gamers<\/em> or taking your gaming on the go with Project <\/em>xCloud, it\u2019s clear that the future of gaming is brighter than ever.<\/em> <\/em> <\/p>\n

Nowhere is that more evident than <\/em>with<\/em> Xbox Series X, our fastest, most powerful console ever. Not only will Xbox Series X set a new bar for performance, speed and\u202fcompatibility, it will<\/em> <\/em>em<\/em>power the world\u2019s greatest developers to create games that launch us into the future of gaming.<\/em> Putting players first also means introducing <\/em>a host of <\/em>new <\/em>features and <\/em>technologies to improve their experience<\/em>.<\/em> <\/p>\n

\n

One of the most exciting of the technologies we\u2019re introducing with Xbox Series X is Smart Delivery, which will ensure that you always play the best version of the games you own for your console, across generations. This technology is available for all developers, and all Xbox Game Studios titles that are Optimized for Xbox Series X, including Halo Infinite<\/em>, will support Smart Delivery. <\/p>\n

But what does that mean for you, the player? Well, it means that if you purchase the Xbox One version of a supported title, we will deliver the best version of it to your Xbox One, as usual. If you decide to jump into the next generation with Xbox Series X, we will automatically provide the Xbox Series X version of the game at no additional cost when it becomes available. You won\u2019t need to do anything in terms of choosing a version to download. We\u2019ll take care of all of that. And it\u2019s not just limited to games that you purchase digitally; physical discs of Xbox games can\u202falso support Smart Delivery if the developer or publisher decides to\u202fimplement it. <\/p>\n

Below are a few different scenarios in which Smart Delivery will work across generations with the games and consoles you own now and those you may own in the future.  Smart Delivery will ensure that only the best version of the game will be installed on your hard drive, so you don\u2019t have to manage your storage space: <\/p>\n
