You can now pre-load updates for certain Xbox games and start playing straight away when they drop.
The Xbox September update is here and it brings a range of new features and changes to the Xbox experience on PC, mobile, and console.
The most significant new addition is the ability to pre-download a game’s upcoming updates on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One. This means that you won’t need to sit through a lengthy download on update release day and can instead jump right into the action.
This could be an absolute game changer, especially for live-service games that frequently receive lots of new content. Unfortunately, the feature is only supported in a few select titles right now. The latest Xbox Wire blog post lists Sea of Thieves, Minecraft, and Cassette Beasts among them, but says to « expect many more titles to support it soon ».
