I have an Xbox one X in my bedroom. Can I play disc games on series S in living room?

Hi P20JOG

I have always been a big fan of physical media, so my main console in the living room is the Series X and then a Series S in the bedroom. And i was planning to pick up a Series S more for my Production rack, that i bring with me on tour.

Hello GuentherStolz, sorry to hear you're having trouble.

I'm afraid that you would not be able to play your disc based games on the Series S. You would need to repurchase the games digitally if you wanted to play them

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.

It is compatible with a Series X. It is not compatible with the One or a Series S since it doesn't have a disc drive.

According to my Xbox Series X|S, the disc is “incompatible”, and I can only play a compatible version of it if I pay $62.99 for a new copy WITH EA Play.

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.
