By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Xbox has launched a new disc-to-digital service that allows players to claim digital versions of their physical game discs. This feature, currently in testing for Xbox Insiders, will enable access to digital benefits like Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox Cloud Gaming for supported titles. While not all games will be available at launch, Microsoft aims to bring the advantages of digital ownership to physical media collections, potentially offering a bridge for players transitioning their libraries.
