new Disc to digital program for XboxCurrently being tested for Insiders, it does not appear to be included by Ubisoft and Square Enix. According to the report, which comes from Xbox users, inserting a disc belonging to one of the two companies does not offer the possibility to associate it with a digital license. Instead of displaying a conversion option, the system displays the message “Digital license not available”, specifying “This game does not participate in digital licenses”.
great rejection
To date, neither Ubisoft nor Square Enix have provided official communication regarding their involvement in the program. However, the absence of the corresponding game may only be related to the testing phase. Microsoft is indeed possible Expand supported title list When will the service be available to the public?
The program is launched by Microsoft in the Alpha Skip-Ahead, Alpha and Beta channels of the Xbox Insider program. One of the foreseen conditions also involves Have a physical copy used to obtain the digital license.
More than 800 games are compatible with Xbox’s disc-to-digital program
Microsoft explains this in its FAQ: “A disc-to-digital license is associated with a qualifying game disc. In order to continue to receive certain benefits of a disc-to-digital license, you may need to prove that you still own the disc. For example, if you lose, sell, give away, or otherwise no longer own the qualifying disc, your access to the associated digital license may be limited or revoked.”
An interesting aspect is The disk still functions normally after conversion. This way, once a digital license is obtained, the physical copy can potentially be loaned to others, while the owner can continue to use the game through their digital license.
The community also attempts to track games that are compatible with the program through independent initiatives. There is a dedicated page on the website Xbox Collection Trackerto collect currently supported games.
There are still some limitations to the system. Xbox and Xbox 360 games aren’t actually compatible with the program, at least at this stage. In view of Microsoft’s emphasis on backward compatibility However, in the latest generation of Xbox, it is not ruled out that support will be expanded in the future.
Therefore, the current Xbox disc-to-digital project is still in the experimental stage, and the list of compatible games may still change before final release. The absence of Ubisoft and Square Enix is one of the first signs that publishers are choosing to participate in the new system.
