Digital Is Rolling Out Now To All Users
Kotaku • • general
Key Points:
- Xbox has officially launched its disc-to-digital program for all users, allowing players to convert physical game discs into digital licenses on Xbox Series X consoles.
- Users can claim digital licenses by inserting a disc and selecting the "Claim digital license" option, or simply by playing the game, which automatically redeems the license.
- Not all games are supported, with Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles excluded for now; publisher participation varies, with Sega and Ubisoft recently joining while Square Enix remains a notable holdout.
- The program is seen as a step toward a potential all-digital future for gaming, following Sony's announcement to end physical disc production by 2028.
- Players are advised to keep their physical discs even after digitizing them, as losing or selling the disc could result in losing access to the digital license.
