Play my old disc games on xbox 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.

Hi dempup and thanks for your answer..

Well...thats bad news for me...

So I would have to use both consoles (old "One") and Series S...one to play old disc based games, the other one to play the new and digital games.

My live account still remains the same, I can play my digital "One" version of The Witcher 3 on Series S then?

The xbox series s is a digital only console. To play a game on the series s it would require the game disc to start the game. The game licence is on the disc.

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

Hope you're doing great today despite this GUNDOWNZERO

I understand that you want to play disc games on the series S but I think you already know that's not possible..
Series S is an all digital console. A Disc can't be be used on it.
I know what it feels I have some physical copies for old games like FH3, and basically all the forza saga.
I can play the games only on my Series X.

Both consoles are great, but depending what you need you may need to choose between Series S and X

If you have old games and you don't want to buy a Series X your best bet right now to play them is get an Xbox One X or Xbox one S console

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.
