Smart Delivery: Microsoft states that there will be no paid upgrades

Lo Smart delivery di Microsoft, technology that will allow gamers to hold a title on Xbox One to be able to "upgrade" it in the case of the purchase of Xbox series X, has been the subject of discussion in the last few hours regarding the possibility of monetization by software houses regarding this particular practice. The Redmond house therefore wanted to clarify the situation by explaining once and for all how and when it will be possible to take advantage of this feature.

In fact, the publisher will decide whether or not to support the practice of smart delivery; however, in the event that you want to adopt this function, it will never be paid for through additional content. So if we bought a certain title, such as NBA 2K21 (which we know will not support Smart Delivery), the only way to be able to buy it again on the next generation console is to pay it again, perhaps at a discounted price wanted directly by the software house. Likely, many video game chains assume that they will make this particular "move" by offering the same next-gen title at a reduced price while giving back the current-gen one.

At the moment, some of the games we know will support Smart Delivery are: all Ubisoft titles, FIFA 21, Cyberpunk 2077, Destiny 2, Halo Infinite, DiRT 5, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, Gears 5 and many more.
