Today Microsoft’s first Xbox 20/20 event was held during the latest episode of Inside Xbox where the company showed off gameplay for a whopping 13 new games that will be launching on the upcoming Xbox Series X console.
Ten of the games shown support the Xbox Series X’s highly touted Smart Delivery feature which ensures that if you buy one version of the game, whether it’s on Xbox Series X or Xbox One, you can play the game on the opposing console without having to repurchase it. Microsoft has promised that every Xbox Game Studios exclusive title will support the feature, including Halo Infinite, which sadly didn’t make an appearance during the presentation.
