Xbox has announced its long-rumoured programme that lets players convert their physical game discs to digital. The majority of Xbox One and Xbox Series X discs will be supported, with Xbox Insiders able to test it next week on 31st August.
“This is part of our broader commitment to game preservation,” Xbox wrote in a blog. “As technology, devices, and distribution continue to evolve, preserving access to the games people own matters more than ever.”
If a game is supported, inserting the disc into an Xbox One or Xbox Series X and launching the game will allow players to claim a digital version, while the physical disc will remain playable. Thousands of titles will be supported at launch, though not every game will be at launch.
