Microsoft is testing a feature that converts physical Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S game discs into digital licenses. The Verge reported that the program will be limited to those console generations and will not support original Xbox or Xbox 360 titles. When a user inserts a compatible disc, the console generates a digital entitlement that remains tied to that disc, allowing the game to be accessed digitally while the disc continues to function. The digital version can provide ecosystem benefits such as Xbox Play Anywhere or cloud gaming, if the digital edition offers them. Testing notes indicate that compatibility for some Xbox One discs may vary depending on manufacturing details. KitGuru noted that the conversion path could become important if Microsoft introduces a disc‑less console in the future.
