How to validate a purchased disc game for XBOX Series S

You cannot play discs on Series S, as it has no disc drive with which to validate the copy protection. No, an external drive will not be possible. You'll have to purchase them digitally, or use an Xbox with a disc drive

No, you cannot

Disc games require a disc drive for validation

series S is digital only

Well first keep in mind the forum rules.is the same as the tou

Second that's the verification check

It's either the account or thr disk

Hence the CHECK all consoles have that check.

You do realize that this I'd with ALL digital consoles right ? Both ps5 and xbox series s and all digital xbox one s and ps4 both say you cannot use disk games

You aren't backing them up you aren't fully understanding how consoles work

Games are installed from disk or digital

For Disk you MUST have the disk to validate the iownership regardless of console

Digitals havr the license built in

There is no way around it as 300k xbox "fans" revolted and got the previous xbox boss mattrick fired over not needing the disk on the original xbox one

No console works the way your idea wants and sony thoroughly rejected it with the disk sharing ad

You aren't backing anything up you are installing the disk and uncompressing the files and installing whatever day one patches and updates that's not a back up of the disk

You are thinking PC not console

Consoles DONOT work that way

Unfortunately no. The disc is needed in the console in order to verify ownership of the game. Since the Series S doesn't have a disc drive, you would need to own the game digitally in order to play it on the Series S.
