Xbox tests disc-to-digital conversion for physical game libraries

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from The Verge ·

Microsoft is developing a disc-to-digital feature that lets Xbox owners convert physical games to digital licenses, according to sources. The move comes as the company considers ending production of physical game discs, following Sony's lead. The feature would allow users to digitize their existing collections before discs are phased out.

Meridian48 take
This is a pragmatic bridge for gamers with large physical libraries, but the real story is Microsoft's quiet shift toward an all-digital future for Xbox.
