How to get rid of the disc warning sign or warning sign on my games on my Xbox Series X?

SHEP SHEP1 · Oct 18, 2023

I owned the game Madden 23 on a disc but I looked it up it mean that I don"t have the license for the game? How do I get the license? It was not like this when I first bought it and why is it like this? Xbox can you fix this for me and everyone that has problems with it?

I reset my console and kept my games and apps and uninstall it and it has not worked

What do I do to fix the warning disc sign or warning sign on Xbox games?

How do I get rid of it on my games on my xbox?

Hi there SHEP, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

As you said, this symbol appears when you don't have the digital license for a game you have installed. However, it seems that the symbol is being displayed incorrectly in games due to an error, as said by the volunteer moderator 'StuartATrueRed' in the following thread:

https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/d39a1684-b770-48f4-92e1-b2715dc4493e

Since other players are experiencing the same issue, as you can see in the attached thread, and if it still allows you to play your games without any problems, it is recommended to report this issue to Xbox using the instructions provided in the following link:

https://support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/manage-account/xbox-insider-hub-report-a-problem

This way, Xbox engineers and technicians will investigate the reported problem and work on a solution as soon as possible.

Please keep in mind that in this forum we are just fellow gamers trying to help other players.

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.

If you bought the game on disc, not digitally, and it's not part of any subscriptions you pay for, then the disc itself is effectively the license.

If you're seeing a disc icon with an exclamation mark in it, it means that the game requires the disc to be inserted before it will run, but it's not in the drive already.

So, as long as all of your games are working, I wouldn't worry about it.

It's something they added in a recent update. I have seen people have issues with it though, where it will show they don't have a license for a game they own digitally, but the game still launches, so I think it's a bit buggy. If you've got the "Report a Problem" app installed on your console, you can use that to report a bug to the devs.

It means corrupted install

You will have to reinstall the game

Now if it is on series s you need to download from your profile if it's a disk.on a series s then it won't work as you need the disk
