Download or disc

@M Bierce

You can't play a disc game while installing another disc game

But you can play a disc game while another is downloading, play a download while installing a disc or play a download while installing another download.

Rockstar games said that you should download disc 1, the download disc, to your Xbox.

For the play disc, disc 2, they said don't download it to your Xbox.

So i'm guessing you should follow that.

if you own the rights and if its a digital download it doesnt need a disc. However if you installed from a disc you will need that disc . Not sure if you have a digital download (I am assuming you downloaded digitally?) That you need a disc?

TaulBaux,

If you download a game using the disc then you will always need that disc to play the game. If you download a digital game, it is downloaded straight to your console which means no disc required

On the Xbox One, digital and physical disc games are one and the same. The data you're usually downloading is just packed on the disc. The disc is only replacing the download, as the game data is copied from the disc to your internal harddrive anyways.

However, when you get a physical disc, the disc is the digital license (something like a "Proof of Purchase"), and has to be in the drive when you want to play the game, even if it's run off the harddrive.

On the other hand: If your disc is damaged, but the security sector with the license is still readable, you can insert the disc, and download the download version from the store. But you still need the disc to "unlock" the download.
