Xbox One will allow users to play games while they’re still downloading to the console, Microsoft has confirmed to Polygon.
At E3, Microsoft confirmed the system would also be able to play disc-based games while they’re installing. All disc-based games must be installed to the hard-drive.
Sony has previously confirmed PlayStation 4 can play games while they are downloading, and disc-based games can be played as they are installing.
Both consoles launch this holiday. Xbox One, specifically, launches November.
