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.

The sounds like a great idea, but it means nothing for people like myself with terrible internet speeds.

Jakeston Another nice feature. By the time this comes out it'll be a completely different console. Haha.


It has been having several changes for the better in my opinion. I hope that they continue moving in this direction

It will certainly be pretty convenient for individuals buying the Xbox One. It's something that i always wanted the Xbox 360 to have
