    Sadly yes. This game does require a fresh purchase for each platform you wish to play on.

    If I have an Xbox One game disc do I have to buy it again to download the digital version?

    I have an Xbox One X and the game disc for GTA V. If I want to download the digital version do I need to make a separate purchase?
    Long story short, yes. You would have to repurchase it digitally.

    Hi ThomasHobbs101

    If you want to be able to run the game without the disc be inserted (i.e. a digital game) then yes, you will to re-pirchase the game from the digital store.

    Although the games gets downloaded when you insert the disc, the license is held with the disc. This is why the console needs to check to see if you have the disc to check you have a license. But the game is not actualy run from the disc.

    Hope that helps.
