Xbox Series X: 'Smart Delivery' feature means players will get their games on new console for free, Microsoft confirms

Xbox players will get their games free on the new generation console, Microsoft has confirmed. The company's "Smart Delivery" feature will let people buy a version of a game for the current generation of Xbox One, and then have that available when they come to play on the upcoming Xbox Series X, the company said. Any developer can implement the feature in their game, and it can be used even on physical titles. Microsoft will bring the feature to all Xbox Game Studios titles, which include Halo Infinite. Publishers and developers will choose whether to implement it on their games, meaning that some third-party titles could have to be bought twice, if those making them decide so.
