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.

-ExtremeRage- You guys are pathetic, can you not see this is the Xbox News, you say Xbox copied this? Look at all the stuff Playstation 4 copied from Xbox 360! Ps4 isn't next generation it's a better Ps3 with Xbox features, Xbox is better and will always be better, they listen to the fans don't you see, DRM change, upgrading to 12gb of RAM, Playstation has nothing compared to Xbox. Oh and also Sony Fanboys stop signing the petition to brig back DRM because your console is a epic fail.


You're calling people fanboys, seriously? You can't respect Microsoft for fixing their mistakes, just as you can't respect a criminal for apologizing for his crimes, so stop being so stupid, the RAM upgrade isn't confirmed and if you knew anything about technology then you'd know that it won't make any difference to the gaming performance and doesn't cost much at all to do so. I think you'll also find that the petition is being signed by stupid Xbox fanboys that think it's for the best. The PlayStation 4 will be much cheaper and doesn't include a stupid kinect sensor that nobody wants, get your facts straight before you start talking trash.
