Smart Delivery is getting the same game for two generations of Xbox hardware. They are marketing that because it was not common in previous generations.

My guess is by default Series S will only download files the platform can use. Essentially a recommended install. However, users can download additional files if they want but can't use them.

The only scenario I can think of where someone on a Series S would download every file, maybe they plan on saving all the content to an external memory unit and will use it (or copy it) on a Series X as well. Either way, I would assume Series S does not get Series X content by default.

Edit: I responded without looking at the debate. So I will leave my post but responses may not be needed.

Yep, seems like Activision didn't even use Smart Delivery, and also that I misunderstood what SD was supposed to be, my bad on it. Still who knows, maybe Acti will patch allowing RT to be used on Series S, from what we know it does have RT capabilities right?

Well I am waiting on Digital Foundry or some other deep analysis of the latest CoD. From what I've seen the RT has little impact visually so they may not bother bringing it to Series S given it will be a hit to resolution and maybe performance.

I suspect developers are struggling to get the most out of these new Xbox consoles. Which is pretty common in a new gen. So maybe future Series S titles will seem less compromised.

Either way, what's most important is the games just play well on Series S and show a significant leap over base Xbox One and PS4. I think the Series S version is doing that even without the RT shadows.
