The XBOX program that lets you get a digital license from a game disc is now available to everyone
, by Thibaut
After being tested for a while with XBOX Insiders, the program that allows you to obtain a digital license for a game by inserting a physical disc into a console is now available to all users.
Microsoft announced this big news on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. A large number of Xbox Series X and Xbox One games are compatible. Since the digital license is, of course, tied to the disc, it’s important to keep the disc; otherwise, you risk losing access to the game. If the disc is lost or resold, the license could be restricted or revoked.
Gears of War: E-Day, which will be released on October 6 (with an early access release on October 1), will be compatible.
