What is Xbox Smart Delivery?
Smart Delivery lets you buy a game for the Xbox One, with a Series X or S copy automatically included. If you upgrade your console later, Microsoft feeds the console the appropriate version of the game. Smart Delivery essentially means that you'll always be playing the latest, best-quality version of the game, and you only have to buy it once. The feature might seem old hat to PC gamers who've long had the ability to have remastered versions of games automatically patched in via Steam.
To use Smart Delivery, you'll need the new Xbox Series X or S console once they're released in November, and the game must be compatible.
