Microsoft to Allow Customers to Claim Digital Entitlements Through Physical Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S Discs
Microsoft says thousands of Xbox One and Xbox Series X titles will be supported first, with more added over time.
- On August 31, Microsoft will begin testing its disc-to-digital program with Xbox Insiders, allowing owners to convert physical game collections into digital versions on Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles.
- Jason Ronald, VP of next generation at Xbox, framed the initiative as a "broader commitment to game preservation," stating "preserving access to the games people own matters more than ever."
- Players insert a supported disc into an Xbox One or Xbox Series console to claim a digital entitlement, unlocking access through Xbox Play Anywhere or Xbox Cloud Gaming while the physical disc remains playable.
- Publishers control which titles are supported, so not every game is available at launch. The feature arrives weeks after Sony announced it is ending physical PlayStation game discs, a step Microsoft has not confirmed.
- Microsoft plans a broader rollout to Xbox One and Xbox Series owners in the coming months, with a detailed list of supported and unsupported titles expected in the near future.
