Kotaku: Xbox Smart Delivery makes it easier to upgrade games on Xbox Series X | S than PlayStation 5

When corporation marketers Microsoft began to actively use the term “Smart Delivery“in an advertising campaign Xbox series x and Xbox series s, many wrote that nothing remarkable is actually hidden behind it. Like, Americans just repeat for Sonywhich offered the system Cross-Buy back in the days Playstation 3… I bought the game once – you play on different systems. However, with the beginning of the new console generation, it was precisely MicrosoftThe publication drew attention to the situation Kotaku, thereby responding to complaints from users who are dissatisfied with the system for upgrading games to Playstation 5

There is hardly a game on the market that can demonstrate the importance of Smart Delivery more than Marvel’s Avengers… More recently, the brainchild Square enix received a full-fledged update for new generation systems, and for those who wanted to upgrade from the PS4 version to the PS5 version, the whole undertaking turned into an unexpected headache… As it turned out, in order to carry out the whole process, you first need to follow several sequential steps. Namely: install both versions of the game on your console, then update them to the current patch, and then convert the save from PS4 to PS5. And only then the system will allow you to continue playing Marvel’s Avengers on the PlayStation 5 with all the accumulated progress.

But the upgrade process also had other complications. According to some users, the option to convert save files was simply missing from the main menu. At the same time, the interface of the PlayStation 5 itself is called inconvenient by many.

Ultimately, to accompany the upgrade opportunity with more visual instructions, the Crystal Dynamics team made several posts on their official Twitter account, and also provided a link to the PlayStation FAQ page, where the process is explained step by step again.

What’s on Xbox Series X | S? The situation is completely different. The upgrade process is simple and intuitive.

Microsoft officials themselves describe Smart Delivery as “a new technology” that allows players to automatically and instantly access all versions of games on Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X at once, where the optimal distribution is launched depending on the preferred system. “No additional steps are required!” – said in the description. This note raised some questions in the past year. People had no idea what other steps could be. Everyone is accustomed to the fact that their digital content is conveniently organized and easily transferred from one device to another. The very idea that save files could not be transferred also seemed simply absurd.

As a result, Smart Delivery is well versed with the problems that many began to drown in with the arrival of the new generation.

“It’s easy to get used to the fact that I can just turn on my Xbox Series S, flip through the Microsoft Store, Game Pass and my own game library, and just pick the game I’m interested in and launch it in a matter of seconds, no questions asked.

And then I go back to PS5, which has almost no space left on the SSD due to PS4 versions of games … “, – sums up the author.

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X went on sale in November 2023.
