    Xbox Series X - Are offline game updates possible?


    Hello,

    Here is my scenario:

    I have just purchased an Xbox series X and have decided to keep it till Christmas before surprising my wife with it.

    I thought I would pre install some of her favourite xbox one games, of which all of them require an update.

    Now I'm also in Australia, in comparison to a lot countries, our internet is pretty poor.

    Couple that with the fact that we live in a rural area and the only internet option available to us is satellite. which sucks.

    Limited bandwidth, limited data per month and also subject to atmospheric conditions.

    It would take me weeks to download any update to a series x game.

    I have pre-ordered Halo Infinite and would like to know if you can download game updates on a different internet connection and install on my

    xbox series X via usb just like you can with Offline System Updates?

    :)

    Hi Mateus,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Installing to the portable HDD on someone else's system is an alternate option that I had not thought of.

    I may end up doing just that.

    Hello, how are you? Hope you're well. My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community. You would have to have an external hard drive and take the console to the place you download the game update, or if you know someone who owns the console you could just take the external hard drive and download the games completely on it, and update specific would not be possible, as the update depends on the base game already installed on the HD.

    Remember that next-gen Xbox Series S/X games cannot be played from an external hard drive, but can be installed on it and then moved to the console's internal SSD.

    *Thank you in advance for contacting me, I hope this can help you. Let me know if you have more questions, please.

    Xbox One X Enhanced on Xbox Series X

    I would presume that if a game is Xbox One X Enhanced, those benefits will also appear when the game is played on Xbox Series X, along with any Optimized for Xbox Series X benefits that same game might receive through future updates. I doubt seriously it
    would be a step backward when played on the superior hardware.

    Keep in mind the Smart Delivery feature, which will enable Xbox Live to send the best possible version of the game to Xbox Series X automatically. So that may be the Xbox One X Enhanced version, or (if the developer makes such an update possible) the Optimized
    for Xbox Series X version. Given the choice, I'd want the Optimized version. :)

    Kinect/xbox one/xbox series x

    On the Series X? No, it's not possible, as they are not backward compatible. On the Xbox One, you will be able to play offline if you have the games on disc. If they are digital downloads of the game, then you will need to stay logged in to Xbox Live on the Xbox One while playing those games.
