Xbox Launches Disc‑to‑Digital Feature to Preserve Physical Game Libraries

Microsoft has unveiled a new disc‑to‑digital feature that lets Xbox One and Xbox Series X owners convert their existing physical game collections into digital entitlements. According to the company, players can claim a digital copy by inserting a supported disc into their console and launching the game. The entitlement is linked to the user’s Microsoft account, allowing the digital version to be accessed anytime without the need for the original disc. The move is part of Microsoft’s broader effort to preserve games and prepare for the next generation of Xbox consoles, ensuring that titles remain playable as physical media ages or becomes scarce.
