Xbox Play Anywhere issues with Disc-to-Digital.

Hey there,

Xbox Play Anywhere is exclusive to the digital versions of games. Physical disc based games are not eligible for Xbox Play Anywhere. Hope this helps clear up the issue!

Hey CJ,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. Unfortunately, the
Play Anywhere feature is reserved for digital copies.

"Are Xbox Play Anywhere games digital only or also disc games?"

"Xbox Play Anywhere only applies to digital games. Xbox Play Anywhere games can be purchased in the Xbox Store, the Windows Store, or via a digital code at participating retailers."

Also, there is no program for getting digital versions of games cheaper for owning the disc version. The only thing I can think of would be trying to sell the disc version to buy the digital version.

Hope this helps!

Xbox Play Anywhere is only applicable or digital purchases, not disc-based games.

On Xbox One, do you own a disc or digital version?

If it's the disc, you can't install it in Windows.

Play anywhere only goes for digital versions of games.

Hi dyslexic_soup

Xbox Play Anywhere only applies to digital games. Xbox Play Anywhere games can be purchased in the Xbox Store, the Microsoft Store or via a digital code. It does not apply to games purchased in disc.

Hope this helps.
