Xbox reportedly testing Disc2Digital feature for physical games

Xbox is reportedly developing a "Disc2Digital" program that would allow players to create digital copies of their physical Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S games. This initiative aims to preserve access to physical game collections as the industry shifts towards digital distribution. While the program would link a digital entitlement to the physical disc, transferring the disc to another user would revoke that digital right. The feature is currently in testing and may not support all older titles or original Xbox and Xbox 360 games. AI
