There is no difference. The Xbox will always play the digital version of the game, even if you try to play from disc.

You wouldn't really notice a difference. It may still run off the digital version though, but if it does run off the disc you may just hear the disc spin up when it starts. The game data would be the same, so you wouldn't need to redownload anything from
the disc.

Both, you can buy digital copies from the xbox store or you can insert a physical disk and install it from there.

Happy Gaming 👍

All I'm saying is that physical copies of games are still being used today; this is why we shouldn't "do away with them" for digital copies. "If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT".

You are more likely to have something terrible happen with a digital version rather than having a physical copy. Physical copies are more stable and are more "insured" as far as protection than a digital copy, which is really just streaming the files right
to your hard drive. With physical, you have all the information conveniently on one disk which you simply have to put into the CD/DVD-Drive. If somethign goes wrong with the digital copy's original download, what are you going to do? You have no way to physically
repair the problem in regards to a physical copy.

This is why having digital copies only and doing away with physical copies altogether would be a terrible idea.
