Recently, PlayStation received backlash after announcing it would discontinue disc production by 2028 , claiming most purchases were made digitally. The same can be said for Nintendo, which announced Game-Key cards, where the cartridge does not contain the full game data but rather a license key to download it. But with this latest Xbox update, it has received praise among the gaming community.
This year, Xbox announced its new CEO, Asha Sharma , after Phil Spencer revealed his retirement. Since then, she has made several major changes that caught the gaming community's attention, from a significant structural overhaul across the company and its studios to changes in Game Pass pricing. Xbox also became the official publisher for Hideo Kojima ' s upcoming game, Physint , starring Bill Skarsgård , after his partnership with PlayStation abruptly ended. Xbox has had a mix of good and bad news as it tries to steer the brand toward success, and this latest update adds to that growing list.
Xbox has announced a new feature called "Disc to Digital Licensing", allowing gamers to claim digital versions of their physical games without having to pay. To claim the digital license, gamers would need an Xbox One or Xbox Series X console and would have to insert the disc. From there, in the game's menu, they will see an option to "Claim Digital License," and once it's claimed, they can play the title without needing the CD. The digital license is linked to the CD, so if you sell your CD to someone else, you also transfer the digital title, so it's best to keep the physical copy on your person. Xbox has a support page for people having trouble claiming their digital titles, as some discs may not grant a digital license because the CD is damaged, the content is "no longer available," or there are other technical limitations.
