Does the Xbox One automatically download app/game updates? [duplicate]

My console is set to use the Instant-On power mode and I’ve checked the box allowing it to “download updates automatically” when in this mode.

However, when I launch games and apps, I still see the “Oh, shoot. We need to update first” screen quite often. I’ve also noticed that items in my download queue are not completed while in Instant-On mode.

Is this setting really just for system updates? Or does it apply to app/game updates as well? Is it available outside the United States or something silly?

Edit: My console does go to sleep so that is not the issue.

Best Answer

I've never ran into this issue with my Xbox One. I have noticed occasionally that an update will show as being finished when I first boot up my One. I have left mine in Instant On mode since I bought it.

Why does Xbox One have to install every game?

Because the games have gotten so large, you cannot load the entire game on RAM, meaning pieces of the game must be swapped in and out of RAM. To keep the wait time to a minimum, most modern games simply install most, if not all, of the game from the game disk onto the HD when you first put it in.
