    Games with disc and download


    Hi, maybe my question can seem stupid but... if I buy a game in a store (so I have the disc) can I also download that game by xbox store to have a digital copy?

    Change download disc

    I want to change where a game downloads to - it's trying to do it onto a disc with no space and I want to change to another internal disc?Download

    problem with Mass Effect 3 disks

    Hi

    All you should need to do with Mass Effect 3 is put the first disc in the console and it will then download the full game from Microsoft. With backwards compatible games when you put the game disc in it will then downloads the emulated version of the game
    to your console (but the disc is still required to allow you to play the game).

    Games with disc and download

    Hi! You can have a digital version as well, although you would have to pay for that one as well.

    I wish! Unfortunately its an exclusive purchase, so physical doesn't yield you the digital copy as well. This is something that I feel should be changed and you may want to consider voicing your feedback to MS directly on it Games with disc and download :)

    sadly as stated you would have to buy a digital copy in addition. I don’t think it was a stupid question at all.

  7. You can get a digital copy too but not for free. Although, Minecraft once provided free digital copies for everyone who owned a disc.

  9. you can buy for the digital and the disc although you will be paying for roughly the same amount. What I would do is buy a disc copy first, wait for digital to go on sale then buy digital and sell disc copy or keep it as a back up.

  11. You can't, you can either have Digital or Physical. You could buy Digital, but if you have the game already there isn't much point.

    even with a disc the game is downloaded to your console. It is really more of what holds the license. In the case of a disc copy, you have to have the disc in the console to maintain the license, otherwise the title will not launch. If you buy the digital
    copy of the game, you can play the title without this disc inserted, but somewhat negates the purpose of buying the disc.

    Games with disc and download

    Not a stupid question, but unfortunately you need to purchase that game digitally if you want to have both physical (disc) and digital copies.

    If you are a gold member then some of the games you own on disc may come up in the Games With Gold offers, so you can redeem those for free, in order to have a digital copy. (That's what I did with Forza Motorsport 5, For Honor and Forza Horizon 2, so that
    I don't have insert my disc every time i want to play one of those games) You can also check out
    game pass, it offers the full digital version of over 100 games for one low monthly price. There might be some games on game pass that you own on disc, and it's also a great way to check
    out new titles.

    Hopefully I was of some help Games with disc and download :)

    can you install one game while playing another

    @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.

    Digital or 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

    GTA 5 weird glitch?

    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 I buy a console bundle with COD MODERN WARFARE digital copy will I be able to play multiplayer and campaign?

    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.

    Game Auto Update issues

    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.
