<p>The Xbox One will allows users to play their downloaded games while it is still being downloaded, <a href="http://www.polygon.com/2013/7/16/4527998/xbox-one-play-after-partial-download">Polygon was told</a> by a Microsoft representative.</p>
<p>You may recall that this feature can be found in the PlayStation 4, where the game can be played after the download reaches a certain point.</p>
<p>Before now, we only knew that the Xbox One could play disc-based games while they were installing to the hard drive, but it seems that all games on the system will be cutting down how long it takes to play. Neat!</p>
<p>Now, any word on those loading times? Can we start getting rid of those?</p>
