Microsoft says you can turn your Xbox discs into digital licenses for free so I bought a stack of used games and found out how many actually work.

Xbox could do something very funny and recreate the PS4 disk sharing video
This is a huge win for xbox and players. Especially in the same month Sony sent out emails to tell players they don't own their games.
Of course Ubisoft would opt out 😂
I was able to claim the Rock Band 4 digital license and it is delisted with expired copy right music rights. Also; all of my old RB4 dlc showed up and was downloadable.
Im just waiting for xbox to hit playstation with "this is how you share games on project helix"

the forza games were added a day after the test went live
Its also important to remember, to use that digital version and install it on your PC or play it on another Xbox console without the disk. That game needs to be part of the "Xbox Play Anywhere" list.
There’s over 200 delisted games that actually work with disc to digital.
FYI, there is no periodical checks once digital license has been claimed. Its yours forever digitally unless u sell ur disc
It's almost like an Xbox One disaster announcement has been retooled into a good thing
I bought so many more physical Xbox games after they announced this disc to digital feature!! What a great time to be an Xbox gamer! 😍
Last year I regretted buying an Xbox and wanted a PlayStation. The tables have turned 🎉
With the XOne working for Series games, this has magically become a relatively easy way to get a physical library of PC games.. as long as Play Anywhere is supported.. I could legitimately refund my Steam copy of Campaign Evolved, crack open my Series physical copy I've got, claim it digitally on my old XOne and continue playing on PC.. crazy work
This only works for XBOX because MS made each disc have a unique ID for the DRM always online thing they were planning to implement but later backtracked on the XBONE, Playstation disc's don't have unique ID, I highly doubt Sony can bring a similar feature even if they want to.
i bought xbox just for this feature
Tbh this is a really good idea as it allows people to still own the game itself(disc), but basically now lets you play a previously only-console game on, say, a xbox ally for ABSOLUTELY FREE, and also helps them make a new reputation as the "console-gamer-saviour"!🔥
If publisher does not want participate in the program after a year or two that tells us where those companies moral lies
We still need physical discs going forward
