Playing a physical copy of a game once it has left Game Pass

macmanyoung · Apr 14, 2021

Hi,

I have a few games I have downloaded on Game Pass for my Xbox One. My subscription runs out next month and I dont intend to renew (but I will keep Xbox Live). I wondered if I buy a physical copy of the same game (ie, Dirt 5, Forza Motorsport 7) will my game save still work, and will I need to uninstall the digital version I have downloaded and install the new physical version?

I'm old-fashioned and prefer a physical case/disc to savour .

Many thanks.

:)

Thank you for replying so quick!

Yes, your save will still work and you'll pick up where you left off. You don't have to uninstall the game.

This has also been happening to me, but it mainly occurs with the games that I have physical copies of. None of the digital games I own on my console experience this issue.

It’s left all physical copies of my games that are also on gamepass unplayable telling me I don’t own the license to play them. nothing I’ve done has worked. have you found a solution?

omg yes you can sell the physical copy at a yard sale it is up to the publisher of that game if there will be a charge for the buyer to play it, digital copies can be given to a friend that has been on your friends list for 30 days and can only be given
once

Hi,

Is this a physical copy of the game or was it downloaded via game pass?
