Why don't my games installed off discs on the One work on my Series S?

In order to play the games, you have to have a license. For games purchased on disc, the license is on the disc. So the disc has to be in the console in order for the system to recognize you have a license to play the game. Since the Series S doesn't have
a disc drive, only games purchased digitally can be played.

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.

This is why I buy my games on disc if at all possible. You don't use data installing off of a disc.

Hi,

Setting your console to your 'Home Console' allows digital content to played, even if there is a Live Outage or your own internet service isn't available. Essentially allowing you to play your downloaded games offline.

We can't provide official comment on the cost of the Series S and it's disadvantages hardware and cost wise compared to the Series X as most users on this forum (myself included) are just users like you, not Microsoft staff.

The Series S|X can use external storage for Xbox One games, it's the Series titles that must be installed internally or on an optional expansion card.

Xbox disc games do not have install keys. The individual discs are not unique, which is why you can trade them in. As there is no key, installed disc games will not work on the Series S.

Yes I did why would my one s work and the series x not work??? Why did it turn it off once and not again? Turns it on just fine!
