    Dont own game despite having the disc & disc not being recognized


    So I wanted to play a game of Civ 6, so I put the disc in. Usually, it'd work, but for some reason it said to insert it. I checked for scratches, and there was none, so I cleaned the disc. Put it back in, and it popped up again. Reset the console. Didnt work. Unplugged the xbox and waited. Didnt work. Held down the power button and waited. Didnt work. After those things, I decided to uninstall and reinstall the game. Problem is, it said I didnt own it, including the DLC's I bought, but still allowed me to uninstall it, so I did. Bit because it said I didnt own it, when I uninstalled it, I couldnt reinstall it. And now, whenever I put the disc in, nothing happens. Its as if the disc isnt even in there. No popup telling me to insert the game disc, no downloading of the game, nothing. It just doesnt recognize the fact that its in there. All of my other discs work, but not that one, including the discs with a bunch of scratches.

    My xbox wasnt overheating, it wasnt damaged, and its only 2 years old. I didnt go on any malicious websites. Just randomly happened.

    Hi Lucadas!



    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum! Please accept our warmest regards and sincerest hope that all is well.



    From the description provided it seems you cannot play Civilization VI on your Xbox console.

    This issue may have been caused by settings in Xbox that need to be changed. Or it may also be a problem with your Xbox account. So let us work together as a team to get to the bottom of this. But to better assist you I need to ask:

    1) Which Xbox console do you have? Xbox Series X? Xbox Series S? Xbox One?



    2) How long have you had this issue? Days? Weeks? Months?



    3) When was the last time you were able to play the game on your console? I need an exact date.

    4) Using our Find your games and add-ons guide is Civilization VI shown as one of the games you owned? Photo below for reference.

    COD Modern Warfare - Physical Copy Issue After WarZone Update

    Some users reported having issues of the game not detecting you owning the license for the game when you use the disc version.

    You might have to do the following, if you wish to play the full game, and despite the disc being in the drive the game won't show you own it:

    With the disc in the drive, make sure the console has the disc detected. Then find the Call of Duty game in the Xbox Store, and install the necessary add ons that come with the game from the Xbox store, that should show an install button instead of a buy
    button, as long as the disc is inserted.

    !!CoD warzone advice please?

    Since you mention you are getting the disc version:

    Are you sure the disc game is working? Are you able to test it on another console?

    This might be caused by the game disc not being recognized since the game uses the disc to check for ownership.
