Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Xbox one preorder

ChrisMag02 · Nov 23, 2021

i just purchased the preorder for Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Deluxe Edition, which is made for the Xbox one an the Xbox Series S/X. I REALLY don't want to waste $60 on the game if the preorder is only for the new gen consoles... Does that make sense?? Can a preorder be for both gen consoles or only one gen?

Sincerely,

Christian Magnusson

A little more info for you about the game. Sherlock Holmes Chapter 1 will be released soon on the Xbox One sometime in the next year.

According to the page for "Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Deluxe Edition Pre-order":

https://www.xbox.com/en-gb/games/st...ter-One-Deluxe-Edition-Pre-order/9NX9KNX36D7H

That game is listed as for both the Xbox One and the Series X/S. Basically, you order it and then the system employs what is called "Smart Delivery" to determine which console you have and download that version accordingly. So you would play the XBox One version on your current console and then, as mentioned by the IA, if you bought a Series X or S and installed the game, it would install the "Optimised for Series X/S" version on that console

Hey ChrisMag02, how are you today? Hope you're doing well.

ChrisMag02, a content can be for both models of console, yes. That what we call cross-gen bundle.

No worries, if you purchase the version for both console, you will be able to play it on your current console, and in the future, if you decide to move on to the next gen, you could install that game on your Series console and take advantage of the Series optimized version as well.

I have an Xbox One X console but, when I go to the Microsoft store to purchase Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, it says "Not playable on this device". I don't understand.

According to the website, Sherlock Holmes Chapter One is only playable on the Xbox Series X|S consoles. You were looking at the bundle which gives you all the games for one price, so it shows that they will play on the Xbox One & the Series X|S because the older games do work on the Xbox One.

You should have looked at this link instead which shows it's only available on the Xbox Series X|S https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/store/sherlock-holmes-chapter-one/9P7WX4XL1PWT/0010
