XBOX CEO Asha Sharma says that gamers want physical media, so they are announcing when you purchase a game you get both
They are keeping physical discs, and when you buy one it will come with a digital entitlement
How it will work:
- Put the disc in an Xbox that has a disc drive
- Launch the game
- Claim a digital license on your Xbox account
- After that, you can play the game without putting the disc in, the disk will still work like a normal game disk
The digital license is tied to that specific disc, not permanently locked to you forever
If you sell or give the disc away and the new owner inserts it and claims it, the digital license moves to their account and comes off yours
This is the way it would be. Getting both physical media and digital media that you can own and sell
Launch is with 1,000 games and more coming later
@RyanLaley We are very sorry this happened to you. We hope you know you’re not on your own with this. And while it won’t help right this second, we’ll check the Arasaka hardware archives and see if we can send a few things your way. No choom should have to start from zero. 🤝🏼
The NHS cancelled all gender affirming surgeries in Wales. Those who had their appointments ripped away from them have been given a suicide hotline instead.
This happened because of transphobic pressure, and people will die because of it.
Your physical game library is more than a collection of discs. It holds years of memories and stories worth preserving. Starting next week, XBOX Insiders can unlock a digital entitlement for supported physical games. We’ll start with thousands of titles and add more as we can.
