why can i play without the disc?

Same with me, I had Titanfall in my Xbox, Clicked Battlefield and it started up and I could join multiplayer, I only own it as a disc, have all the DLC, and in total it takes 62gb of data.

Head to Settings and make sure the console is set as your Home console. That should fix the issue.

Do you have an EA access subscription?

Battlefield is in the "Vault" so if you had BF installed from disc, your EA access will give you right to play it without needing the disc inserted.

can i play disc based games without the disc, in other words can i download the disc to the xbox and then use it on any console without the disc

hello i have xbox 360 and where i have it i havent got internet... i have installed my games but they wont play without disc and i dont know why but i want to play them without discs...

For disc based games, the Internet connection doesn't matter.

However, if you installed the games from disc, the disc is needed as a proof of purchase. Otherwise you could install the game from disc and sell the disc to someone else.

That other person then installs the game from disc, and sells the disc again to another person.

And in the end thousands of people can play the game, from only one sold disc, if you were able to play installed games without a disc.

If you want to be able to play games without a disc and without internet, you will have to buy the games digitally, and download them on the console you wish to use without internet immediately after purchase.

Or if you downloaded the games to a different console first, you will have to do a "License Transfer", with an internet connection, and re-download your games you wish to use offline.

After the license transfer, you can use the installed download games without internet.

But for disc based games, you will always need the disc in the drive.
