Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is also set to utilize one of Xbox Series X’s newest features for next-gen called Smart Delivery. It’s a feature that makes it so you only have to buy the game once, and you’ll be able to access it across multiple systems. For example, if you buy the game for Xbox One and eventually get Xbox Series X, you won’t have to buy the game again.
