    Why won't my new Xbox Series X won't read 360 discs?

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    This will depend on the game. May I ask what 360 games you have?

    Xbox One S is not playing certain DVDs

    I take it Blu-Ray disc movies are working okay? Have you tried many of the ones you own? Games are detected?

    Bear in mind that the Xbox One S, One X and the current Series X actually have two lasers, one for reading DVD discs (including Xbox 360 discs) and one for reading Blu-Ray discs, which also includes Xbox games as they are also on BD-Disc.

    If the DVD laser is giving out, it won't read certain DVD discs, and this is likely the reason for the issues you are experiencing. This is also why Blu-Rays and Xbox One games are not effected. There is nothing wrong with your DVD's, it's the console's optical drive that is faulty.

    Trying to install Left 4 Dead 2 on Xbox S

    Thank you for the response but I have tried that before and I tried it just. Its a new disc but the disc drive still does not read it. My xbox reads my Black Ops 2 xbox 360 disc so I don't understand why it won't read my L4D2 disc which is undoubtly cleaner.
    I know I need to go to my games and apps and it should pop up there, but it doesnt.

    Thank you for the response anyway :).

    XBOX 360 games on X|S

    A Series S doesn't have a disc drive, so it won't read any discs.

    That game is not backwards compatible so it won't work on a newer console.

    Xbox 360 discs no longer work on Xbox One X

    Hi,

    You've said you've tried blu-ray discs and Xbox One discs but have you tried DVD discs?

    Xbox 360 games are on DVD and my guess is that DVD won't play either.

    The reason why they won't play is that DVD diode for reading these discs has failed. Other discs work because that laser diode is still working.

    Try a DVD disc. If it does not work you'll need a repair.
