For consoles, they just need to have two texture packs and two optimized game settings, vs PC games often having multiple pages of graphics options to tune in order to get the most out of your system.
There's no point in downloading 12GB of extra textures if your computer can only run the game at medium settings, and with many ISPs having fairly low bandwidth caps it's detrimental to customers to have them download more than they can use.The process for developers is actually a LOT simpler on console iterations (PS4 Pro and Xbox One X) than it is on PCs.
In recent years, high res packs as separate downloads have become more and more common for PC games. In reply to Darmok N Jalad:It's not unheard of. This ability to intelligently install the best assets for each console and language are available on all Xbox One devices, and it will be up to the developer of the game to determine the specific implementation.” “In addition to 4K-specific assets, developers have options when it comes to language specific assets as well, which depending on the title, can drastically reduce the install footprint.
“As part our developer readiness for Xbox One X, we have made available a feature which will give them significant flexibility when it comes to what gets installed on a user’s console,” the statement continues. And those assets would otherwise take up far more space than is warranted on our already-stuffed Xbox One and Xbox One S hard drives.Īnd these assets aren’t just graphical, Microsoft notes. “This means, regardless of the TV you are playing on, 4K assets will be downloaded to Xbox One X (if available) and the standard 1080p assets will be downloaded to an Xbox One S.”ĤK assets will be significantly bigger than the normal 1080p assets, resulting in massively bigger and slower downloads. “With the launch of Xbox One X, when it comes to game content our intention is to download the correct assets to the correct console,” a Microsoft statement to game fanboy site Stevivor explains. Instead, Microsoft will make different versions of game downloads available for the Xbox One X and non-4K consoles.
Here’s some good news for Xbox One S owners: You won’t be saddled with massive, 4K-compatible game downloads when the Xbox One X ships.
