Xbox series x won’t play mw3 disc

Hi, Gavin! Thank you for reaching out.
I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
I'm sorry you are experiencing issues playing Modern Warfare 3.

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a few questions:

- Besides Modern Warfare 3, does this happen with other disc-based or digital games?

- Do you get any error codes/messages when this happens?

- Have you already verified if the same happens when trying to launch the game from "My games and apps" instead?

- Besides the TV/monitor, are there any external devices plugged into your console?

Thank you! I'll be looking forward to your reply.
Best regards.

Why does my Xbox series x 87 days old not play any disc whatsoever ?? Won’t play Xbox one game Xbox 360 dvd or Blu-ray won’t play anything it’s the 5th Xbox on the spin to do this ? What’s going on with these crappy drives and power mode ( Microsoft won’t admit there’s a massive problem with their disc drives ! That’s facts

YouTube has like 50 videos of people not being able to play a game they own on disc I think I’ll get full refund and buy PS5 no way will a Sony product not read discs

i set the series X as the home xbox and it did not let me play MW3 even though i own it.

Edit : When i swapped the series X as my home console it took away MW3 on the series S too. So now i cant play on both consoles.

Hi Kylo Ren1,

Greetings!

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

For a digital copy, the Game Borderland The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is not listed on the backward compatibility games. So you wont be able to play the game on Series X.

Xbox Backward Compatible Games | Xbox

If you have an Xbox 360 Disc for the game then you should be able to play it on the Series X

The Xbox Series X can play game discs from the original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. For movies, it can play DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs—you just need to download the Blu-ray Player app from the Store app on your Xbox Series X to be able to play those discs.

To insert a disc: With the Xbox Series X in the vertical position, insert the disc so that the top side (with the cover art) is facing the left edge. If the Xbox Series X is in the horizontal position (with the power button in the top right), insert the disc face up.
