  1. How to get a game I bought in disc on my Xbox series s


    So I bought madden 20 on disc & I switched to a Xbox series s and they said the upgrade was free to get your games back that you bought on disc so how would I get my madden on my Xbox series s without having to buy it again?

    :)

    Smart Delivery Series S

    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.

    0x803f800b error code. Says need subscription, but we have one

    My other son's xbox is set as home.

    This is because his xbox was bought first and is disc xbox.

    The xbox for my son with the issue is series s digital xbox.

    If we change the home setting to their series s digital. Will my other son still be able to play his games online on the older disc xbox?

    @op no you misunderstood

    This applies to all digital consoles

    Yes you get a free upgrade but disc games remain disk games you must have the disk to validate ownership meaning it doesn't apply since you can't validate ownership and Ea dual entitlement only applies to 2021 titles and expire when the next year titles comes out so 2021 would expire when Madden 22 comes out etc

    In your case if the same rules apply your 2020 it would've expired when 21 came out

    And the free upgrade does NOT apply to all games even sony discontinued it for first party titles

    It's upto the individual parties

    There is no dual.entitlement for Madden 2020

    It only started with FIFA 21

    And applied to Madden 2021 except it expired in august

    But applies to 2022 now

    As mentioned op.the free.upgrade is upto.the publishers but in your case it would've had to have.been the disk upgrade which since you have a series S It doesn't apply

    You can buy madden 2022 and get that free dual entitlement

    With the exception of dual entitlement which is exclusive to ea 2021 and newer games next gen upgrades stay with the same media
