Assassin's Creed Valhalla will use smart delivery on Xbox

It was recently confirmed that Assassin's Creed Valhalla will use smart delivery on Xbox, meaning that players who purchase a copy on Xbox One will automatically receive the game on Xbox Series X.

Details about Assassin's Creed Valhalla smart delivery originally appeared on Reddit, where a poster shared the game's listed product information. You can check out the post below, which includes a screenshot highlighting all of the relevant smart delivery details.

Upon further investigation, the facts concerning smart delivery check out. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is already listed on Amazon, where the same product details are mentioned:

"Assassin’s Creed Valhalla leverages the Smart Delivery technology - buy the game once and play it on either Xbox One or Xbox Series X when both the console and that version of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla are available."

The Amazon product listing also mentions that pre-ordering Assassin's Creed Valhalla affords players access to a bonus mission called The Way of the Berserker, during which Eivor joins a "legendary Norse Berserker on his quest for revenge." Sounds a bit like Kratos.
