But these changes make a big swathe of the Xbox library accessible to those without consistent online connections, and should keep them available even in the event of Microsoft server outages.Įarlier this year, an Xbox server outage left people unable to access their games for days, and Microsoft quickly promised updates to mitigate those game-blocking outages. The Series X still requires an online connection for its initial setup, and backwards compatible Xbox and Xbox 360 games are still downloaded online and require an internet connection even when you insert a disc. In most cases, Smart Delivery games ship with Xbox One code on the disc and require a separate download for the Series X upgrade, meaning until this update, there was no way to play them on the new console without a consistent internet connection. This is a particularly notable issue because the vast majority of Xbox Series X games are released on disc as Smart Delivery titles. What a waste.While dedicated Xbox Series X discs were already playable on the console without an internet connection, that was not the case for Xbox One titles. It reminds of terrible windows updates of past and the updates did almost nothing but they screwed you in so many weird ways. I am trying to update the console since morning and downloaded the update 5-6 times. i have downloaded the updates three times and it gets stuck at VERIFYING each time. Once again I reset the console and this time the download was complete but the installer got stuck at VERIFYING (at 1%). Again I was prompted to update the console and once again the download was stuck. So I went in the safe mode and reset my console "keeping the apps and games". Did some google and it seems that i need to reset the console by soft reset option. Now when I start the xbox I am greeted with a black screen. So i switched off the console by holding the power button. My internet speed is about 75 MBPS and it should definitely NOT take that long time. But the update process was stuck at 4% downloading for a really long time (45 mins or so). All looked fine and I started the update process. It said something that a new update is required and the downloads is going to be approx. Xbox® game support enables your Xbox 360 video game console to play an array of games from your original Xbox video game console. As usual the start up was rather long and i was greeted with the update screen.

So I fired up the XBOX to check whats new on gamepass, xbox store offers etc etc.

Last game that i played on it was HALO 5. Thats so because youre downloading the updates directly from the Xbox network. So I did not turn on my XBOX one X for a long time. One of them is if the system is hot or the power supply unit is faulty.
