## Key points

- Xbox's disc-to-digital feature can digitise some delisted games too.
- Live for Insiders since 31 August; publishers decide which titles qualify.
- Lets disc owners play delisted games on Series S or PC.

## Summary

Xbox's disc-to-digital programme, which went live for Xbox Insiders on 31 August after weeks of rapid development, has been confirmed to support digitising certain games that have been delisted from the Xbox Store. This matters because it gives owners of physical Xbox One and Xbox Series X discs a way to obtain a digital licence for titles they could no longer purchase digitally, letting them play those games on Xbox Series S consoles or on PC via the Play Anywhere programme, effectively reviving access to games otherwise locked behind physical media.

The feature moved unusually quickly from rumour to release: it surfaced via a leaked roadmap in early August, was officially announced roughly a week later, and rolled out to Insiders on 31 August. To use it, players insert a compatible disc, open the Options menu and select "Claim digital license"; eligible titles, including some delisted ones, are added to their library, while unsupported games show a message stating that digital licensing is unavailable. Support for any given delisted game ultimately depends on its publisher and developer, so coverage is inconsistent, and a fan-maintained compatibility list has emerged to help players check which titles currently work, with more expected to gain support over time.
