Microsoft unveiled that it is planning on including an automatic DLC downloader feature for its Xbox One consoles.
The revelation was made by Larry Hryb, the director of programming for Microsoft's Xbox Live during the question and answer portion of the PAX East event held last Saturday in Boston.
During the gaming conference, an attendee asked the executive if Microsoft is considering creating a new feature that will make downloading season pass DLCs more convenient. He said that since he oftentimes misses the actual release dates of DLC, he's not able to play them once they debut, according to Next Power Up.
In response, Hryb said that Microsoft has already considered this issue before and is now working on a solution. However, he noted that he's not sure if creating the feature is the company's number one priority at this time.
"I've got that feature request in," Hryb said during the conference. "I don't know where that suggestion is [on Microsoft's priority list] but I completely agree with you. We're trying to figure out the best way to do that."
Although the feature could instantly solve a common issue faced by gamers who are eagerly waiting for new content for their favorite titles, Hyrb mentioned that using it could be problematic for those whose Internet connection have metered bandwidth, Game Spot reported.
"You don't want to have somebody sign up for a season pass and then all of a sudden blow through all their monthly gigabytes because they downloaded an update or something," he told the conference attendees.
As for other game-related issues, Hyrb reminded the event participants that they can visit the Xbox Feedback site using their Xbox Live accounts to share their suggestions and other concerns with Microsoft.
According to the site's description, submitted suggestions that Microsoft is working on are listed under "In-Progress Items." They will be marked as "Completed" as soon as they are ready for public release.
Some of the ideas that Microsoft is working on are the cross-platform multiplayer game mode for PC and Xbox consoles and streaming Xbox One games to other devices.
