  1. Playing with no Disc if I owned


    I would like to know if the game has already been installed from my disk, why do I have to insert it every time I want to play it? Would not it be easier to not have to insert the disk to play it? It would be easier to mark it in the Xbox Live database
    that I already have the game physically and be able to use it and download it without problems once I insert the disk for the first time so I do not have to keep using the disk, if it goes to install anyway, would be better. How can I do to no longer have
    to use the disk every time I want to play?

    :)

  2. This games online mode is completely unplayable

    I've had no issues with the online play - I think the problem lies with your pre-owned disc. Have you tried playing online with another disc or at a friend's house. That should at least give you an idea of where the problem lies.

  3. Game left in Console?

    As a former Playstation Fanboy who owned every playstation, I owned the PS2 Fat and it had a similar disc drive to the 360. The disc will be fine, as long as you don't move the console.

    It was designed that way. Imagine if you had to remove the disc everytime you stopped playing. What an inconvenience that would be huh?

    It's to help prevent piracy. It's to verify that you actually own or have possession of the disc. Otherwise, anyone could just borrow disc, install it, and get the game without buying it. Otherwise, you would need to purchase the games digitally in order
    to not have to worry about a disc.

  5. The console needs to verify you still own the game. For instance if you loan the game from a friend or a rental service if you could play it without the disc you would never need to buy a game again

  6. Hi there Jogaru,

    Thanks for reaching out! Whether a game is purchased on disc or download it from the Microsoft Store, you need to install it on your console’s hard drive before you can play it.

    Unfortunately, you will need to use the disc for any disc games after the installation is completed. The game license is physically on the disc. For more information, check out the

    Frequently asked question for Installing games from Disc
    . If the disc is not inserted you may receive

    Error 0x803F8001 occurs when you launch an Xbox One game
    , Do you own this game or app? or

    If you have a game disc, insert it now.

    Hope this helps. Let us know.

    I recommend buying games directly from the digital store on your Xbox, so the license of the game will always belong to your account. Usually you can find better deals on there than in physical stores.

    Playing a game I own as disc on pc

    Hey D8a,

    Congrats on the new PC. You mentioned you're trying to play the disc version of Gears 5 on your new PC but you have the disc. I'm assuming you're talking about the physical Xbox One copy of the game since I don't believe it came out physically for PC.

    While you cannot use your physical copy of Gears 5 on your PC, you have few options.

    1. You can purchase the game again on PC via the Microsoft Store or the Xbox app

    2. You can subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate which gives you access to play over 100 high-quality games on console, PC, and mobile devices (including Gears 5 and all other first party titles), Xbox Live Gold, and access to a library of top Electronic Arts titles on console and PC, exclusive rewards, and member-only content.

    Right now you can join for $1 for your first month, and you can cancel any time. So you don't have to spend the same amount of money you spent on the game for a second time. Join Xbox Game Pass: Discover Your Next Favorite Game | Xbox
