Yeah, this is going to get confusing, especially at the onset...Kevin8se7en wrote: ↑ For example, COD Black Ops: Cold War is playable on both generations yet has a $80 version and a $90 version.
What exactly is the difference other than the $10?

So does one just get the "Xbox One" version of the game and it'll include all the enhanced graphic visuals of the Series X?
This is great info. I would much rather buy a Xbox Series X disc rather than an Xbox One disc. Would rather have all the files on the Series X disc instead of downloading patches to get the optimization. Unfortunately it seems there is no SPECIFIC Series X disc for Valhalla at this time...XFactor11 wrote: ↑ With cross-gen games XBox Series X and XBox One games are the same disc.
If you buy the regular Xbox One version, I think you would likelnstay also have to download a patch for the next-gen updates to take effect and it
may not use the features such as faster loading of the next-gen versions by default without a patch.
All next-gen versions of games have mandatory installation to the internal NVME solid state drive and are designed to
take advantage of the faster load times as a result.
Current XBox One, Xbox 360 games have the option to be illed to the internal drive or
installed to external regular mechanical hard drives but will load up significantly slower as a result.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla does have a separate PS5 version and I think that one would only work on PS5s.
The plus side is likely all the content is there already without needing to download a patch to make
use of any Next-Gen features since it should be specifically a PS5 game disc, whereas with the XBox Version,
it is designed to work on both current and next-gen with patching likely needed.
The only source I could find is this one:
https://www.tweaktown.com/news/74528/wh ... 0disc%20in.
It says even if you buy the last-gen version (PS4, XB1 version), you would still need the (XBox One, PS4) disc in the drive to authenticate
the digital rights of the next-gen version for the free digital upgrade to next-gen offer to work.
You'd pay $10 more not to download what will likely amount to a few Gb (at most) patch?pureelite1 wrote: ↑ This is great info.

Good point but I right now some retailers don't have an extra $10 price for next-gen games. Assuming the disc price stays the same (which it is for some) it's a lot easier to have it all on the same disc and run smoothly rather than being patchedGrowingupisold wrote: ↑ You'd pay $10 more not to download what will likely amount to a few Gb (at most) patch?
