Microsoft may have solved the Xbox One X’s biggest problem ahead of launch.

The Xbox One X is Microsoft’s ultra-powerful new console that’s capable of delivering true 4K visuals and increased performance. The only problem with all this power is that Xbox One X file sizes are likely to be extremely high, potentially exceeding 100 GB.

Fortunately, Microsoft is working on a solution that will reduce the size of your Xbox One X game downloads.That’s according to Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra, who told GamesRadar: “On the platform side [we’re] looking at things like what we call internally Intelligent Delivery.”

Based on Ybarra’s description, Xbox One X game assets will be split between the cloud and your system. The console will essentially select what it needs and when it needs them. If it stops you having to delete existing games every time you buy a new title, then fingers crossed it will be ready for the Xbox One X release date.

Xbox One X games list: Official enhanced titles revealed

Microsoft revealed at its Gamescom press event today that the company has more than 100 games ready and enhanced for the upcoming Xbox One X console. The enhancements will include 4K and HDR support in many cases, and mean that a game has been updated to support the new power inside the Xbox One X. Sony had more than 45 games enhanced for the PS4 Pro during its launch period last year.

While game makers can’t create titles only for the Xbox One X, they can provide more assets, a higher resolution, and better frame rates on the console. All of these optimizations fall under a new “Xbox One X Enhanced” program. The optimizations might not always be clear, but Microsoft is using three logos in total for new Xbox One games. There’s an enhanced logo to indicate a game has been updated for the Xbox One X, and a 4K and HDR logo to note specific support.

The 4K indicator simply means a game has a 2160p butter output, but that 4K support will include native, checkerboarding, and dynamic resolution. Microsoft’s HDR support is the regular HDR10 standard that is also used on the Xbox One S, and there’s no word on Dolby Vision support.

The news comes just days after Microsoft opened Xbox One X pre-orders.And the good news for Microsoft is that stock is selling out fast, especially the Xbox One X Scorpio Edition, which is only available in limited quantities. The Scorpio Edition features a custom colour and a vertical stand that will also be sold separately. It also has ‘Project Scorpio’ printed on the console and Xbox Wireless Controller.

Microsoft’s impressive new console has a CPU that is 30% faster than that of the original Xbox One, while the GPU is 4.6 times more powerful than its predecessor.Interestingly, the 8GB of memory – which is up from the 5GB found in the original Xbox One – allows the console to process art assets, making it easier to run 4K resolution visuals at higher speeds.The full list of Xbox specs can be seen below…
