  1. Transferring games to new Xbox Series X causes it re-download the game


    Just bought an Xbox series X console and was trying to transfer games via an external drive from xbox one s and while I was able to copy/move the games off the external drive just fine, it prompted me that there was an update for each game when trying to launch any of them. That was fine as well. The updates ranged from a few gigs to 10s of gigs for each game.

    Again no big deal. Once all the updates were done though, I tried launching a few of the games, Forza horizon 5 and Halo Infinite and I received a message saying that another update is required to get the best performance on the Xbox series X but the update size for each game was the actual size of the game.

    I ended up running the update and downloaded the updates but I have a lot of other games on the xbox one s that I need to transfer over. Will they all require re-downloads? Is there anyway around this? What's the point of transferring games, if I have to re-download them again?

    :)

    Trying to transfer saved game and downloaded mods for FS22 from xbox 1 to xbox x, how come nothing is transfering other than the season pass add-ons?

    Hello,

    Yes, we are trying to move the saved games from the Xbox 1 to the new Xbox series x. We had put the profile on the new x series, and downloaded the game. We then used the local network sharing to try to transfer the same games and the digital community content from Farming Simulator 22 to the series X but cannot get them to transfer over.

    We are unsure as to why the saved games are not moving over or the mods.

    The mods we can just re-download if needed, but the saved games... thata the important part.

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Vote., unfortunately there is no such thing, when the game requires an update of the size of the game or the full game means that the game kernel needs to be recompiled.

    As you're migrating to the X Series what you can do is, download the games you use the most for Xbox and then move them to the External HD and when you play them move back to the inside, and as the SERIES HD is larger, leave the games you use the most on Xbox.

    Pre download Xbox Series X games

    Not really...

    Xbox Series X games / upgrades / updates has to be installed onto the Series X internal or expansion card SSD,

    You can have Xbox One games on your external hard drive that will get an Series X upgrade but the games will need to be transferred to the Series X and then the Series X upgrade will need to be downloaded onto the Series X SSD,

    As an example...

    I have Marvel Avengers on my external hard drive that will get the Series X upgrade and I will transfer the game over to the Series X SSD ready to download and update the game to the Series X version when available.

    Reinstalling games Everytime I play

    Thanks for letting me know. Kindly try doing a Network Transfer to transfer the game to your Xbox Series X and since it is optimized for Xbox Series XIS, make sure it is downloaded to your internal storage.

    Xbox 360 login problem 80151103

    Update:

    What I have done is deleted my 360 file on my Xbox Series X and let it re download itself when I opend the game Left 4 Dead up because it wont work in game and will come up with the error, however the series X will download it on it's own when you boot up a 360 game.

    The bad news is that my Xbox 360 still comes up with the error when Downloading my profile, so something to do with that way of downloading is the problem it seems.
