    playing installed games from discs without disc x360

    hello i have xbox 360 and where i have it i havent got internet... i have installed my games but they wont play without disc and i dont know why but i want to play them without discs...
    For disc based games, the Internet connection doesn't matter.

    However, if you installed the games from disc, the disc is needed as a proof of purchase. Otherwise you could install the game from disc and sell the disc to someone else.

    That other person then installs the game from disc, and sells the disc again to another person.

    And in the end thousands of people can play the game, from only one sold disc, if you were able to play installed games without a disc.

    If you want to be able to play games without a disc and without internet, you will have to buy the games digitally, and download them on the console you wish to use without internet immediately after purchase.

    Or if you downloaded the games to a different console first, you will have to do a "License Transfer", with an internet connection, and re-download your games you wish to use offline.

    After the license transfer, you can use the installed download games without internet.

    But for disc based games, you will always need the disc in the drive.

    A Digital Download Question...

    @Lei I believe that if you installed the game on the system and tried to access it without the disc, it would ask for a disc or to download the game. If you buy the digital version of the game, it would just allow you the license to play without the disc.

    XBOX ONE

    If you purchase a game (any game) from the Xbox store, then you can play it without a disc. So long as a purchase is made on your account, you can download and play it anytime.

    If you have a disc, even if you install it on an Xbox or download updates, you still need the disc. To play it without the disc you'd need to purchase a digital copy of it

    Playing a game without the disc in the Xbox

    What do you mean by the Xbox One does not have any digital version of games? Everything stored on the Xbox One is digital. On the non-disc based games the license is stored on the HDD while on the disc based games the license is stored on the disc.
    Did you read my post correctly?

    If for example I had a game in my collection on disc, installed from disc, then suddenly the game either became a Games with Gold, or a Game Pass title (assuming I had a game pass sub), that disc based game will no longer ask for the disc, should I attempt
    to launch it without said disc. The console will know I own the 'digital' license for it and won't check to see if the disc is present.

    Sometimes there is confusion on these forums regarding games, installed from disc or downloaded. The disc games and the downloaded games are the same, only the way you get them is different.

    That is the point I'm getting at.
