Xbox reportedly testing feature to digitize physical games

Xbox is reportedly developing a "Disc2Digital" feature that would allow players to convert their physical game discs into digital licenses for use on future Xbox consoles. This initiative aims to ease the transition for gamers who prefer physical media, especially if Microsoft decides to release a disc-less next-generation console. The feature is expected to support Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S discs, though some older titles may not be compatible. AI

IMPACT This feature primarily impacts game preservation and digital ownership for console gamers, with no direct AI implications.
