Shrinkable games

Hi ChopDaLyricolig,

Thanks for asking a great question here on the forums. As our Ambassadors have outlined, it is essentially a way to make a bit more storage on your console by removing old add-ons and "shrinking" the space taken up by currently installed (and mainly
unused) games. If you happen to have an external hard drive, you can also manage the storage on it in this manner as well.

Here's a great support article about how to enable that: Xbox One system settings.

Since there is no further information to add and in an effort to minimize repetitive answers we will be locking this thread, but if you have any further questions or concerns feel free to come back to the Xbox forum (Do not repost the same question
or thread as that would violate the Xbox Forum Guidelines).

Happy gaming and thanks again for coming to the forums.

Shrinkable games are games that allow "cleaning and organization" of installed files, reducing the size it occupies on the storage device.

Didnt know this either so its good to know. Ty

As a couple of the others have mentioned, maybe it just strips away the things you dont need. Texture Packs, additional languages, unneeded data that could be streamed from the cloud rather than stored on your xbox.

Sure would help with the limited space though.

It removes other languages and content not needed for the game
