At E3 this year, Microsoft announced a new feature called FastStart, which allows you to start playing games while they're still downloading. According to the company, you'll be up and running with your games up to 50% faster.

The feature is already available to Xbox Insiders that are running version 1806, and today, Microsoft published the list of games that are already compatible with it. Here's the full list:

ARCADE GAME SERIES: PAC-MAN	Sid Meier’s Pirates!	Don Bradman Cricket 17
NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja Storm	Destroy All Humans!	PAC-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION
Dovetail Games Euro Fishing	ScreamRide	Dead Space 2
Rivals of Aether	Devil May Cry HD Collection	Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two – Episode 1
Casey Powell Lacrosse 16	Spelunky	Fuzion Frenzy
The Flame in the Flood	Don’t Starve Together: Console Edition	Viva Pinata
Magic Duels	Toy Story 3	Game of Thrones – Episode 1: Iron from Ice
Ys Origin	The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season	Tropico 5 – Penultimate Edition
Tales from the Borderlands – Episode 1: Zer0 Sum	Neverwinter

There are a few caveats to this. For one thing, your console will need to be set to English for this to work. Also, it's possible that the game publisher has multiple versions of a game for different regions, so it might not work if you have the wrong one.

FastStart is another step toward a future where games can be played on-demand. We're not quite there yet, but we're closer.
