Does anyone know if buy a Xbox Series X/S game also gives you the Xbox One version as well?

Hi, DaBlackNerd! thank you for reaching out.

Not all games include their Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X versions with one purchase, this is usually only the case for cross-gen bundles and Dual Entitlement games. These should not be confused with "Smart Delivery", which is a technology that automatically delivers the best version of a game you’ve purchased to your console, regardless of your console’s generation

• Are you looking to purchase a specific game? if so, may I ask which one?

I'll be looking forward to your reply.
Best regards.

Well only on cross gen bundles or smart delivery games or dual entitlemenr games from ea

There are only a few smart delivery titles and dual entitlement games only last till the next release

Your beat bet is to get cross gen or deluxe bundles that include both

It's important to know which game your friend bought.

I say this because there are currently three versions of the Series X/S game. Gta 5 Online, Gta 5 Series X/S and Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S).

If he has purchased Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S), which gives access to the game for Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X, he can play online with you as long as he downloads the Xbox One version, so you and he will have the same save and can play online.

If he is a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber he can download the game in the Xbox One version and play with you.

Hi again Don

There appears to be an issue with the Xbox Series X/S version of Grand Theft Auto V being compatible with the Xbox One Xbox One X version. Therefore, the Xbox Store may not allow you to purchase the Xbox Series of the game if you have an Xbox One.

Buy the Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V. This version of the game is compatible with Xbox One X and is cheaper than the Xbox Series X/S version. I'm not sure but I think it's no longer available to buy in the store.

If you decide to upgrade your Xbox One X to an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, you can do so through the Xbox Store or an authorized retailer.

I am thinking of buying hogwarts legacy as a digital game but it is sold out for Xbox one so should I buy the Series X game and put the code in the Xbox one Store?

No. The series X/S version of the game will only work on the Series X or S.

The only way that would work is if it's a code for the digital deluxe version of the game (which comes with both the series x/s and xbox one versions of the game)
