Xbox Disc-to-Digital Revives Lost Games
1 Sep
Summary
- Xbox's new Disc-to-Digital program digitizes physical game discs.
- Previously delisted games are now playable digitally via the feature.
- Many popular delisted titles, including Call of Duty, now work.
The new Xbox Disc-to-Digital feature is providing an unexpected workaround for games that have been removed from online storefronts. This program, recently opened to Microsoft Insiders, allows users to insert a physical game disc into their Xbox One or Series X console and acquire a digital copy linked to their account.
This digital version can then be played on any compatible Xbox device without the need for the original disc. Early testing by Insiders indicates that many previously delisted games, such as Deadpool, Call of Duty titles, and various music games like Avicii Invector, are now functional through this system.
While Microsoft has not officially confirmed this functionality for delisted titles, its success is being widely reported. Some exceptions exist, with games like Dead Rising 3 and Destiny not working. The program is expected to expand its compatible titles in the future, potentially bringing even more lost games back into play for owners of physical media.
