Xbox One digital games pre-loading still planned

4.5

Microsoft remains keen to introduce support for pre-loading digital games on Xbox One.

Responding to calls for the feature to be introduced on Microsoft's new console, Xbox Live director of programming Larry 'Major Nelson' Hyrb said on Reddit: "All I can say right now is that yes, we want this feature as well."

Former Xbox exec Mark Whitten said in September 2013 that the feature would be supported on Xbox One in the future, but that it wouldn't be ready for the console's November launch.

The most recent PS4 update, released on Wednesday, introduced automatic downloading for pre-ordered games, meaning they're ready to play as soon as the title launches.

Hryb also said on Reddit last month that support for Xbox One external game storage will be introduced in the near future.

April's Xbox One update added new game save features and friend notifications, plus improved Kinect and game DVR functionality.

-LOST- I can see this getting exploited somehow. People downloading early may end up in leaked files.

I doubt it, knowing MS they'll do everything in their power to ensure that doesn't happen. They're not Sony.

no need to dis. that's true but they try its just you cant compare a hardware company to a software/hardware company its just not fair.

Leaked files either mean, more fun, or it could end bad

Its always going to happen, ways around anything and everything

Very true but when we try to do things on xbox we get banned.
