How do I play minecraft from a disc (xbox series x)?

Thank you for the reply.

The FAQ states the following:

• If you’re playing from disc on Xbox Series X|S, you’ll need to keep the disc inserted to play that game.
  

This implies if I bought a disc and installed on my xbox one, I would require the disc to play on my Series S. However the Series s is discless. I don't understand how a physical disc can state smart delivery for the Series S.

Hi Kylo Ren1,

Greetings!

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

For a digital copy, the Game Borderland The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is not listed on the backward compatibility games. So you wont be able to play the game on Series X.

If you have an Xbox 360 Disc for the game then you should be able to play it on the Series X

The Xbox Series X can play game discs from the original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. For movies, it can play DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs—you just need to download the Blu-ray Player app from the Store app on your Xbox Series X to be able to play those discs.

To insert a disc: With the Xbox Series X in the vertical position, insert the disc so that the top side (with the cover art) is facing the left edge. If the Xbox Series X is in the horizontal position (with the power button in the top right), insert the disc face up.

We're looking forward to hearing from you. If there are any inquiries about our description or if there are any misconceptions, do reply to the post.

You have names mixed up. There are no consoles named the Xbox One Series S or Xbox One Series X.

The Xbox One/One S/One X all have a disc drive.

The Xbox One S All Digital Edition does not have a disc drive.

The Xbox Series X has a disc drive.

The Xbox Series S does not have a disc drive.

All the consoles can play backward compatible games. The Series S and One S all digital edition can only play games digitally downloaded.

The other consoles can play games from disc and from digitally downloaded,

I hope this clears things up for you.

Yes you can plug in the hard drive on the Xbox Series X, and the Xbox One, Xbox 360, & Xbox games will be able to be played straight away. If you have games on disc, just insert the disc, and the game should play as it does on the Xbox One.

Just remember you cannot play Xbox Series X games from the external hard drive, only from the internal and external SSD storage devices that are available for the Series X.

Yes, the Minecraft Xbox One Edition is playable on the Xbox Series X|S via backward compatibility. You can also check from the Xbox store that it's playable on Xbox one and series consoles: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/minecraf.... Kindly make sure to purchase Xbox series X since the Series S doesn't have a disc drive.
