It seems like Microsoft updated the retail box art for Xbox games (Halo Infinite, Flight Simulator, & Forza Horizon 5, showcased)

So if you don't connect to Xbox live you can't play the next gen version even if you own the disc?
This doesn't sound good from a game preservation point of view
I actually like the grey spines and wish the box was grey too. Opinions and all that.
X1 version on the disc, it will download the XSX version when you put it on the console. It won't work on an XSX console unless you're able to download it.
What's not cool about it is that you won't be able to launch the game on a Series X if you're not connected to the internet to download the actual game, as the XSX data is not on the disc.
Should use the thin black label on the New Box. Also, why does there need to be a second Series X logo in the right corner?
What percentage of consoles aren't connected to the internet? Kind of a non issue in 2021.
Not really, it's the XB1 version on the disc, and the Series version downloads.
Yeah its the case with smart delivery games, but native SX games like DMCV do actually have the full game on the disk, and dont need any updates to be able to play.
I'm not sure what smart delivery means for native SX games like flight simulator though, so that be an interesting game to test if it can be played with no update.
Yes I know it obviously works on Series S but this is retail packaging.
This forum is for core gamers so we understand the difference but the general public who aren't so well versed or people buying gifts this will just cause confusion. Parents, grandparents, friends who aren't into gaming in the holidays etc will be confused
How is that any different than a confused parent buying a PS5 disc for little Billy that has a digital edition? Mistakes happen and it'll probably only happen once. Putting an S on it would hurt more than help.
Oh shit my bad I totally forgot the Series S is discless.
Ok guys what an idiot I am. Apologies haha
Huh?
You literally can't use this disc on the Series S. Putting it on the box will cause more confusion.
Not a fan of the white, it is too bright and draws attention away from the Art work. Dislike on the PS5 as well. Old cases are better imo.

Smart Delivery also includes things like language installation and network installation also
Well that's the thing, the disc doesn't actually contain the Xbox Series version of the game, it has the Xbox One version of the game that you then get an update for via Smart Delivery.
Games that are next-gen only won't have that problem.
I'm surprised how many people like the new design. It looks horrendous imo
They should've went with sth similar to this
But with Xbox Series X and Xbox One on top for cross gen games.
Anyway, thanks to Game Pass I don't have to buy a physical Xbox game ever again :D

guess I'm the stupid one, lol
Mankind forgot he could not insert the disc. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the console
The only real issue that'll happen are relatives buying Xbox games as gifts without realizing they may have a Series S. If that's the case, you return it. This is literally nothing to get worked up about. It's something to be mad about to be mad about something.
I really like it and the fact that is differentiates Series X titles from older Xbox One games.
I like the idea but I don't really like that white and that basic black font. The fact the game art is a bigger part of the box now is great, tho, I like that.
At least it is 800x better than the ps5 one. The Switch is the best still, however
