    Physical game /digital copy


    I have a copy of a physical game (CD) installed on Xbox one S unfortunately the CD was damaged. I decided to get the digital copy of the game from MS store. and when I bought the digital copy I still need to re-download the whole game.. why? Will the game
    that was install from physical game should be uninstalled first? Does it mean that the game size will be doubled? (physical game data + digital game data)

    :)

    Games, digital or disc ?

    Physical copies of games FTW. I prefer physical copies over digital as I like to have them displayed. Physical copies and digital copies each have pros and cons though.
