This is part of the “Smart Delivery” system ensuring that players have the best version of the Xbox title for their hardware.
Xbox Head Phil Spencer shared in a post onXbox Wirethat this Smart Delivery system means players will only have to purchase the game once:
This technology empowers you to buy a game once and know that – whether you are playing it on Xbox One or Xbox Series X – you are getting the right version of that game on whatever Xbox you’re playing on. We’re making the commitment to use Smart Delivery on all our exclusive Xbox Game Studios titles, including Halo Infinite, ensuring you only have to purchase a title once in order to play the best available version for whichever Xbox console they choose to play on. This technology is available for all developers and publishers, and they can choose to use it for titles that will be release on Xbox One first and come to the Xbox Series X later.
