I bought Call of Duty cross Gen edition “smart delivery” modern warfare 2. I have a series...

I was double checking, unfortunately nope. This title is an smart delivery game.
This means that as soon as you install it on your Series X, you’re going to have the best version installed (in this case the Series X/S version)

You can check the smart delivery badge here:

If maybe you need to know how smart delivery works, check the official FAQ

Hello, welcome to Microsoft Answers Community.

Yes. You will need a Microsoft Account to download games from Microsoft Store or Xbox, and play them in Online mode.

However, neither the Vault Edition nor the Cross-Gen Bundle of Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II is included with Xbox Game Pass. Therefore, you do not need an XGP membership.

*For Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II - Vault Edition, please visit Buy Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II - Vault Edition | Xbox;
*For Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II - Cross-Gen Bundle, please visit Buy Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II - Cross-Gen Bundle | Xbox

*For the official page of Call od Duty: Modern Warfare II, please visit https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-ii.

Hi, I found that strange… what edition was the one that you purchased?
Vault or Cross-gen?

In the meantime tell me, if you go here and sign in with the account that owns the game. Are you able to see an “install” button? Or just “buy”?

If you're unable to download the Xbox One version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on your Xbox Series X console, it's possible that the game may not be available for download on the console due to Smart Delivery.

Smart Delivery is a feature that automatically ensures you have the best version of a game for your console. When you purchase a game that supports Smart Delivery, the game will automatically download the version that is optimized for your console, whether it's the Xbox One version or the Xbox Series X|S version.

In this case, it's likely that the Xbox Series X|S version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is being downloaded to your console instead of the Xbox One version. This means that you may not be able to download the Xbox One version of the game on your Xbox Series X console.

To check if a game supports Smart Delivery, you can check the game's product page on the Microsoft Store. If the game supports Smart Delivery, it will be noted on the product page.

If you want to play the Xbox One version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on your Xbox Series X console, you may need to purchase a separate copy of the game. Alternatively, you may be able to play the game on an Xbox One console if you have one available.

If you have any other questions or if you're still experiencing issues with downloading the game, you may want to try contacting Microsoft customer support for assistance. They should be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and determine the cause of the problem.

Please double check if you see the "Install" button on Xbox.com
