Microsoft: We want pre-loading of games on Xbox One

2 May 2014

Xbox’s Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb confirmed that Microsoft is very interested in supporting the pre-loading of new release games on the Xbox One.

Major Nelson took to Reddit last night and said, “All I can say right now is that yes, we want this feature as well.”

The comment comes after Sony confirmed that the PS4 will support pre-loads as part of its 1.70 software update. Watch Dogs will become the first PS4 game to support the feature later in the month.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
