Xbox Fans Report Companies ‘Not Participating’ In Disc
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Xbox recently introduced a feature allowing players to convert physical game discs into digital licenses, aiming to preserve physical game libraries as the industry moves towards digital.
- However, Xbox Insider members report that games from Sega, Ubisoft, Square Enix, and Bandai Namco are currently not supported for this digital licensing, showing messages that these titles are "not participating."
- While most other physical games convert without issue, multiple titles from these four companies have consistently failed to work with the service, raising concerns they might be opting out entirely.
- Xbox indicated the feature is in gradual rollout, so these games might be added later, but the repeated "not participating" message suggests potential long-term exclusion.
- Xbox and the involved publishers have been contacted for comment, with updates pending on whether these companies will support the digital licensing feature in the future.
