    Series S won’t let me play disc games that I copied from my Xbox One


    I recently network transferred my disc based copy of COD Black Ops 2 from my Xbox One S to my Series S thinking I would be able to play on my new console, but when I click to launch it comes up with error code 0x803f8001, asking if I own the game (which I do, albeit on disk) and redirecting me to rebuy the game on the Microsoft store.

    :)

    No digital console works that way

    Your only option is to buy digital copies or buy a disk based console for.disks games

    Hi, Dimo189! I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

    I am afraid playing disc-based games on an Xbox Series S is not possible due to the console not having a disc drive. Game copies can't be converted from physical to digital, and vice versa. The error you're getting mean that the console is having trouble checking your usage rights. For more information about the error code, please check https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/errors/erro....

    Forza Motorsport 7 on a disk

    Hi Justin, I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

    Unfortunately, we aren't entitled to a digital copy of the game even if we have a physical copy. You will still be able to play your game disc on console’s that have disc drive but I am afraid it won’t work on Xbox series S.!

    So I apparently just wasted my money for an Xbox Series X game…

    It is compatible with a Series X. It is not compatible with the One or a Series S since it doesn't have a disc drive.
    According to my Xbox Series X|S, the disc is “incompatible”, and I can only play a compatible version of it if I pay $62.99 for a new copy WITH EA Play.

    Smart Delivery 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.
