Microsoft provided a first look at lots of Xbox Series X games during its inaugural Xbox 20/20 presentation, but you don’t have to upgrade your hardware right away to get the Series X versions of certain cross-gen games. As part of the presentation, Microsoft announced several games using its Smart Delivery feature, which allows you to download the version that matches your current hardware. This does not require any additional fee, and it is done automatically so you never have to worry about whether you have the correct version installed. Check below for the full list of Smart Delivery-enabled games so far, and check back as Microsoft reveals more heading into the launch of Xbox Series X this holiday season.
- Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
- Call of the Sea
- Chorus
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Halo Infinite
- Hellblade 2
- Dirt 5
- Scarlet Nexus
- Second Extinction
- The Ascent
- Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon
Nine of the 15 games that debuted during the presentation will utilize Smart Delivery, though some of those remaining games are Xbox Series X exclusive and couldn’t use the feature anyway. Microsoft also announced that all first-party games from Xbox Game Studios will use Smart Delivery, which would include games we already know about like Halo Infinite and Hellblade 2. CD Projekt Red has also already announced that the feature will be available for Cyberpunk 2077.
Smart Delivery is opt-in for third-party developers, but the consumer-friendly feature already appears to be getting adopted widely. It essentially ties the game to your account and upgrades your copy if you upgrade your hardware. For example, if you buy Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on Xbox One and then later buy an Xbox Series X, your new hardware will download the Series X version of the game.
So far, EA has signaled that it won’t offer full Smart Delivery support. Instead, you’ll be able to upgrade to Madden NFL 21 on Xbox Series X for free if you buy the Xbox One version, but you’ll need to do so by specific dates. There are no such restrictions on standard Smart Delivery games that we’ve heard of.
