I have an Xbox X console. Many games optimized for XS series are NOT playable on my console...

Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

The version you mentioned is definitely optimized for Xbox Series X/S consoles. You can check the details from this link, https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/grand-th....

Dear friend, it seems like you are a newbie and the worst thing is that Xbox support gives you irrelevant answers, the fan noise increases on many games on Xbox series x and it has nothing to do with your console. The problem is that the game publisher does not properly optimize the game.

There is nothing wrong with your console and it has nothing to do with dust, I spent some time testing this on a few different xbox series x consoles and found that some games cause this to happen due to lack of proper optimization.

Hello, killerluke09. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Most games launched for both the Xbox One and Series S/X consoles if installed on a Series S/X console will just download and update the necessary files to run optimized to the Series S/X console.

Now F1 2022 has two versions: the Standard Xbox One version and the Series S/X version. I'm not really sure, but I think the Standard Xbox One version will not update to the optimized Series S/X as it is a different game version.

Do you have the Standard Xbox One version?

Waiting for your kind reply.

Because on my Xbox series x, it only shows 'Optimized for series x/s' but if a xbox series x version of a game is NOT 'optimized' how would i know if I'm playing a series x/s version of a game?

The games on the SSD will run fine on it. You won't need to move them to the Xbox Series X storage to play them. Only the Xbox Series X games & games optimized for Series X will need to be played on the consoles own storage.
