Question

How do I know when the download is complete?

Community Answer

You just have to keep checking it. If you have a good internet connection it shouldn't take longer than a couple of hours. If you keep it turned off it will download faster.

Question

On my Xbox One Digital, could I turn off my console while I'm downloading games? Will they still load?

Community Answer

If you go to settings and have "instant-on" engaged under "start-up," then it will work.
