澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X game upgrades could be free for all cross-gen titles, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft said to be pushing for publishe💛rs to refrain from charging extra to those who want a next-gen copy of a game they already own.

The information comes from a new report by , who cite multiple publishing sources revealing that Microsoft's next-gen policy hopes to in♔clude the guarantee that anyone accessing an Xbox Series X version of a game they already own on Xbox One shouldn't have to pay for the upgrade.

This request from Microsoft is apparently tied in to Xbox's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Smart Delivery feature for its next-gen console, which ensures that players ♛are enjoying the best version of a cross-gen gam🔯e no matter which Xbox platform they're running it on. 

In other words, Microsoft is hoping to crack down on an influx of next-gen remasters that publishers would likely charge full price for, instead asking them to either offer a free upgrade to the Xbox Series X port or, at the vert least, a discount to those who buy a next-gen version🌞 from the Mic🔴rosoft Store.

It sounds like these policies aren't mandatory, however, though major games such as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Destiny 2, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed: Valhalla have already confirmed their next-gen versಞions will be available for free to whomever owns a copy on current hardware. Hopefully, for the sake of the player, a suite of other publishers will follow suit.
