One thing I actually haven’t seen yet, if it’s been clarified anywhere:
I assume I can move all my games to an external drive now, in preparation, and then when I plug it into the new console, all the right ones will be detected and update in place? (And yes, I know the next-gen ones would then have to be moved to internal to boot.)
Just trying to minimize the download pain on day one.
UPDATE: To be clear, this is not about playing the games, at all. I know next-gen games need to be on the internal to play. I know that even last-gen would gain loading speed by being on the internal. This is only about using an external to migrate games from XB1 to XSX. And I'm asking if games with next-gen updates will seamlessly update. (And yes, those ones will require a new download.)
This reminds me of Sony's "how to share games" video last generation. Honestly the communication from Xbox has been so top-notch and consistent compared to Sony. As a predominantly PlayStation gamer idk wtf is up with them and what's up their butt. I feel Sony is dropping the ball hard.
