Playing disc games on a all digital console.

Is this a game you only bought on disc? As you can't play disc games on an all digital console. You will need to buy a digital game version to play on the all digital console as it uses the disc to still confirm you own the game.

Even though a game on physical disc may be downloaded/installed to a console, the disc is still required to actually play the game.

You are referring to the Xbox One S All Digital Edition console? If this is correct, then you will need to purchase a digital copy of the game in order to play on the All Digital console.

Unfortunately yes.

Digital licenses for games go with the account that purchased them.

The licenses for the Disc games are on the disc themselves that is why you still need to have the disc in the console in order to play the disc games.

With the All digital systems there is no disc drive to put the disc in so you would need to purchase the games digitally if you want to play them on your all digital system.

You would have to ourchase the games digitally in order to be able to play them in the all digital console. Otherwise, the disc has to be used in order for the system to see you have a license which would not be possible.

The problem is the game being on disc and not digital. The disc would need to be used to install and play the game, and since the console at his dad's is all digital it won't work there.
