Digital Program Supports Delisted Games
polygon.com • • technology
Key Points:
- Xbox Insiders have gained early access to the disc-to-digital program, allowing them to convert physical Xbox One and Series X game discs into digital licenses for use on Xbox Series S and PC.
- The program was officially announced in late August and quickly became available to Insiders by August 31, enabling players to add compatible games to their digital libraries through the Xbox Insider program.
- A key discovery by Insiders is that the feature allows digitization of games that have been delisted from the Xbox Store, making previously inaccessible titles playable on modern platforms.
- To claim a digital license, players insert the physical disc into an Xbox One or Series X, select the Options button, and choose "Claim digital license"; if the game supports digital licensing, it is added to their library.
- Games without digital licensing support will display a message indicating that the title is not participating in the disc-to-digital program.
