One of the features I find handy on the PS4 (particularly as I'm working away from home at the moment) is the ability to remotely download and install games. I pre-ordered Battlefield Hardline and it was available for pre-load while I was away so I got my wife to leave the PS4 on and I remotely queued up the download from my laptop at work and so when I got home on the Friday that week it was already installed and ready to go. Is there a way to do this on the XBOX One? I've looked on the main site and can't see anything and I'd really like to queue up Forza Horizon 2 ready for when I return home, the alternative is for me to try and remember the UI layout and talk my wife through it on the phone.

As long as you have your xbox one in standby mode. It will update and install. For example if you have your one in standby and are a t work and purchase a game off the xbox website it should begin downloading and installing on your Xbox.

Thanks, I shut it down using the XBOX Button and selected power off console but in the power options when I set it up I chose the faster boot up option which leaves it in a lower power state so the game should still download? If all else fails I'll get the missus to switch it on later for me.

As long as your power option is set to instant on you should be golden. Just a heads up though the instant on option does cause issues occasionally. Restart or completely turn off the xbox once a week to avoid issues.
