For decades, console owners have faced a choice between the convenience of digital downloads and the permanence of physical game discs. Soon, Xbox owners will be able to get the best of both worlds for thousands of supported titles as part of a newly announced disc-to-digital program.
The program—announced today ahead of testing for Xbox Insiders starting August 31—will let players claim a “digital entitlement” for “most Xbox One and Xbox Series X disc-based games” simply by inserting the disc into a console and launching it. That game will then be playable completely digitally, without the need to ever insert the disc, as long as you (or a member of your family account) is logged in. The digital entitlement will also allow access to features like Xbox Play Anywhere (for play on PC) and Xbox Cloud Gaming, for supported titles.
Microsoft says that your physical disc will “continue to work exactly as it always has” after the digital entitlement is claimed. But before you get any ideas, the fine print on the announcement mentions that there is only “one revokable license per game disc,” so if you resell that disc or loan it to a friend, that digital entitlement could be transferred to a new account when someone else puts it into their console.
