Game Disc Not Downloading

@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.

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

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.

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.

GUNNER 26: Are your games on disc or are they digital downloads?

If your games are on disc the xbox will download the patch in standby mode, but wont install the update untill you put the disc in and load the game. This is normal.

If your games are digital it will (should) download AND install the update whilst in standby.
