Xbox One supports partial-download play

4.5
The Xbox One will allow users to play games while they are being downloaded, a Microsoft representative confirmed with Polygon this week.

Microsoft previously noted that players could begin playing disc-based games during installation, though the company did not specify whether games downloaded from Xbox Live would share similar functionality. Sony announced that the PlayStation 4 supported partial-download play earlier this year.

CosmicRift Great, even if PS4 had it first this is a awesome addition to the console.

Okay, so I will say.. You might be right. But, you don't know for sure. Xbox One could have had this feature long ago.. That is the beauty behind it. Microsoft has yet to unveil everything the Xbox One has.


Like What?

What do you mean like what? There is no way for him to know what Microsoft has not told us. That is unless he works for Microsoft, in the development department for the Xbox One. Which I highly doubt, and even if he did he would be prohibited from telling us the secrets left.
There's a load of positive leaks coming from employees that are providing positive things such as no advertisements that Microsoft doesn't seem to be revealing.

I think there could be some cool secrets left for the Xbox One, I just hope there's Kinect easter eggs like if you say certain voice command that would be just swell!

-Wub They copied PS4!


Vancouver_Canucks Ohhh yet another PS4 feature. This isnt bad though because it makes both consoles great (The Feature)
Microsoft announced this first, late in May I believe.
Sony announced this in February nice try though.
Fancy proving it then?
Go watch the PS4 reveal which took place in February.
You expect me to watch more than an hour of sh*t? Find me something (such as an article) that was published in february with this information. Otherwise, no proof therefore I win :)
lmao no it prooves your lazy and completely unsure about your post which had no proof either. Go watch it and you'll see.
No, it proves some of us have lives and spend our time wisely. Baring this in mind, I suggest you go and spend your time in school as you clearly have no sense of grammar, my friend.
The obvious way to see a troll has given up is when he starts being a Grammar Nazi. Btw you consider me a friend? ;)
I consider anyone a friend. Also, I thought it would be nice to point out it's coming from someone who has received no education therefor making it pretty much 100% unreliable.

RATF does it really matter who copied who? it's on the xbox now so shhh, honestly...


Ya it matters because if you where to make something new and cool and I took it gave no credit and everyone thought I made it wouldnt you be mad?

Just about every little detail on the PS4 service was copied of the Xbox 360, just upgraded.

Umm they already said this a long time ago when they said you had to install discs you could play it before it finished installing, this is pretty much modifying it now that there's no DRM. I don't see any copying.
