Xbox One digital games pre-loading still planned

4.5
Microsoft remains keen to introduce support for pre-loading digital games on Xbox One.

Responding to calls for the feature to be introduced on Microsoft's new console, Xbox Live director of programming Larry 'Major Nelson' Hyrb said on Reddit: "All I can say right now is that yes, we want this feature as well."

Former Xbox exec Mark Whitten said in September 2013 that the feature would be supported on Xbox One in the future, but that it wouldn't be ready for the console's November launch.

The most recent PS4 update, released on Wednesday, introduced automatic downloading for pre-ordered games, meaning they're ready to play as soon as the title launches.

Hryb also said on Reddit last month that support for Xbox One external game storage will be introduced in the near future.

April's Xbox One update added new game save features and friend notifications, plus improved Kinect and game DVR functionality.

Maggardo This is an awesome feature, that should've already been on the Xbox One. It has the power to do it, so I don't see why it hasn't been added from the beginning.


Because you dont push everything out all at once and have a million bugs and glitches at once you start small for a smoother experience just like building a house start from the bottom up and fix problems as they happen.. if the house is completed before the bugs and glitches are fixed your problems will happen all at once and itll fall apart and then what will you be left with...

Microsoft knows how to run this calm your tits

There is no reason this shouldn't be on the xbox one by now. Even the ps3 allowed preloading of some games.

TSNYC This is excellent they really need to add external hard drive support as well though.


True. My friends with Xbox One have already filled quite a bit of their stock hard drives.
