Xbox Finally Catches Up with Pre-Download Update Feature

After years of PlayStation users enjoying the convenience of pre-downloading game updates, Xbox is finally rolling out this highly-anticipated feature to its consoles.

In a move that will delight Xbox gamers, Microsoft has finally introduced the ability to pre-download game updates on Xbox consoles, a feature that PlayStation users have enjoyed for years. This long-awaited addition is currently rolling out to members of the Xbox Insider Alpha ring, with a broader release expected in the near future.

The pre-download update capability allows players to download large game updates days before they are scheduled to go live, ensuring they can jump straight into the action as soon as the update is officially released. This convenience eliminates the need to wait for lengthy downloads, enabling seamless gameplay transitions.

Microsoft announced the new feature in a post on its support website, stating, “Games that enable support for update pre-download will allow updates to be downloaded days before they are scheduled to release, so you can jump in and start playing right when the update goes live.”

While the update has no definitive worldwide release date yet, Xbox Insiders who have their settings configured to keep their consoles up-to-date will automatically receive the update. The first game to support the pre-download update feature will be the Insider version of the popular pirate adventure, Sea of Thieves.

Alpha #XboxInsiders will see a new 2406 update (2406.240509-2000) released at 2:00 p.m. PT today. Check out what's new and changed in the release notes: https://t.co/Q583q4gcJa

— Xbox Insider (@xboxinsider) May 13, 2024

For years, PlayStation users have been enjoying the convenience of pre-loading game updates, often for major titles like Call of Duty and Apex Legends, allowing them to download new content up to 24 hours in advance. Now, Xbox fans can finally experience the same level of convenience, eliminating the frustration of waiting for updates to download before diving into the latest content.

In addition to the highly anticipated pre-download update capability, the latest Xbox Alpha update also includes improvements to wireless network management and fixes for subscription management issues.

The introduction of this feature not only brings Xbox in line with its competitors but also demonstrates Microsoft’s commitment to enhancing the overall gaming experience for its users. By addressing long-standing requests from the community, the company is taking steps to ensure that Xbox remains a compelling platform for gamers seeking a seamless and hassle-free gaming experience.

As the pre-download update capability rolls out more broadly, Xbox users can look forward to a future where game updates no longer disrupt their gaming sessions, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: immersing themselves in the worlds and experiences they love.
