En af de mest skelsættende features, som Microsoft lancerer sammen med Xbox Series X, er uden tvivl Smart Delivery, der giver brugeren ret til at spille hvilken som helst version af det pågældende spil de ejer, alt efter hvilken konsol de spiller det på. Men det har ikke altid været lige let præcis at forstå hvad dette initiativ går ud på, og hvad det er man helt præcist har ret til.
Så Microsoft har sat sig for at forklare yderligere om Smart Delivery i en ny artikel. Her opstiller de eksempelvis nogle scenarier, der beskriver hvordan initiativet kan komme dig som forbruger til gode.
"If you own Gears 5 or are loving it via Xbox Game Pass now, you can play it today on Xbox One. Then, if you pick up an Xbox Series X this holiday, all it takes is a push of a button to download it and you'll have the Optimized version of Gears 5 - available on day 1 at launch with the console - at your fingertips."
"When Halo Infinite launches alongside Xbox Series X and Xbox One this holiday, you only have to buy the game once and you'll get the best version for whichever console you own, or both. If you pick up Xbox Series X for your living room, Smart Delivery will recognize that and deliver you the Optimized version there. If you decide to move your existing Xbox One to a bedroom or the office, Smart Delivery will recognize that too and deliver that version when you're playing on Xbox One."
"Lastly, some new and existing Xbox One titles will be Optimizing their games after the Xbox Series X launches. For example, if you buy Cyberpunk 2077 when it launches on September 17, you'll be set to explore Night City on Xbox One. If you pick up Xbox Series X at launch this holiday, you can play it there too in compatibility mode picking up exactly where you left off. Then, when CD PROJEKT RED delivers an Xbox Series X Optimized version of Cyberpunk 2077, you'll automatically get upgraded once it's available at no additional cost."
Så ja, det virker også på fysiske eksemplarer, og Xbox Game Pass-titler.
