Smart Delivery is Xbox's "forward compatibility" solution which ensures you're always playing the most optimised version of the game you download.

So, if you're playing Forza Horizon 4 on Xbox One, your Series X will install the version with all the added bells and whistles.

While the lack of Halo is somewhat disappointing, there are still plenty of reasons to be excited.

Gears Tactics, for example, is making its console debut following its PC launch earlier this year.

Game Pass subscribers are in for a treat, with 10 titles available to jump into on day one, including new releases like Tetris Effect: Connected.
