While both Series X and S are getting Smart Delivery, Series S owners will need to wait for Series S optimizations to become available (while Series X users can take advantage right away.)Īs of the console's release on November 10, 2020, there are at least 40 games (both released and upcoming) that are signed up for free Smart Delivery updates. Microsoft calls these after-market upgrades Smart Delivery, and it's a method of optimizing the title regardless of which console is being used. Other publishers, like Activision, have chosen to charge an upgrade fee for titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War. For example, Cyberpunk 2077's Xbox One version will not only work on Xbox Series using the same disc, but it will also receive a free update sometime after launch to make it look even better. On Xbox, most of these upgrades will be free. This includes many current and upcoming Xbox One (previous generation) releases, which will receive updates that allow modern hardware to push games even further. Many of these titles will see big improvements to the way they run thanks to the improved performance of Microsoft's latest consoles.
