In addition to faster loading times, backward compatibility and Quick Resume, Microsoft's new console comes with another feature called Smart Delivery.
Smart Delivery lets you buy a game for the Xbox One, with a Series X copy automatically included. If you upgrade your console later, Microsoft feeds the console the appropriate version of the game. Smart Delivery essentially means that you'll always be playing the latest, best-quality version of the game, and you only have to buy it once. Which in short, if you need the 4k game graphics and not the HD ones, then you only get the 4k and not have to waste space storing the other you will never use.
To use Smart Delivery, you'll need the new Xbox Series X console once it's released, and the game must be compatible.
Microsoft said it will use Smart Delivery on all exclusive Xbox Game Studios titles optimized for the Xbox Series X, including Halo Infinite. Madden 21 will be available for a limited time. The technology has also been made available to developers and publishers for them to use.
Here are the Smart Delivery-enabled games announced so far:
