Aaron Greenberg confirms that those games that come out in both generations can be updated for free in the new console.
Xbox Project Scarlett players will not have to pay again for those exclusive Xbox One games that are released intergenerationally. Aaron Greenberg, general manager of Xbox, has confirmed to Vandal in an interview that the exclusive cross-gen games that are launched on the current Microsoft machine when Scarlett arrives at the stores will be updated free of charge when passing the successor, whose launch expected for Christmas 2020.
Free update: you will not pay twice for the same exclusive game
According to the information, when you have the version of an Xbox One exclusive you will also have the improved equivalent version of Xbox Project Scarlett, contrary to what has happened in some Xbox 360 games (not all backwards have been adapted) and that has not happened in any case with the works of PlayStation 3 to PS4.
The backward compatibility, therefore, will no longer contemplate the eventual existence of “Enhanced” or “Remastered” versions sold separately in the exclusive Xbox Game Studios games. In this way, if we buy works like Halo: Infinite on Xbox One, we can play it for free on Xbox Project Scarlett through an update.
Xbox Project Scarlett
"First, all the Xbox One games you own today will work in Project Scarlett, as well as your accessories," he begins. In effect, all Xbox One controllers will be compatible with Project Scarlett. "If you buy our first party games, let's say Halo Infinite as an example, we're going to give you the Scarlett edition for free," says the executive.
All Xbox players who purchase an Xbox Project Scarlett from Christmas 2020 will receive a free update of exclusive Xbox One games they already own. Of course, it has not transcended if it will be only for Xbox Game Studios titles that are released from Christmas 2020 or if it will be for others already on sale as Gears 5 or Forza Horizon 4, which can be played, at least , backwards compatible as if they were Xbox One titles.
The future, not in vain, has several names already announced for 2020. In this article we talk about the 7 titles presented at the X019 held in London on November 14.
