    I have a bunch of disk games and I want to buy the Xbox series S but I don’t really want to spend 100s of dollars on the digital copies. Will I have too buy them or do they transfer over or something?

    No. If you buy games digitally you don't need a disk. They were just noting that a Series S will only work with digital games, but a Series X can use both digital and disks.

    You would have to purchase them digitally in order to play them on a Series S.

    XBox Game Discs on Series S

    Any external drive wouldnt work

    One it needs to be the same speed as xbox x series

    A dvd usb drive wont read bluray disks

    And at the expense of a bluray reader plus the additional hardware you might as well buy an x series

    Why would you buy something you dont need if you need to read disks

    There is huge difference between x and s

    And S ISNT DESIGNED FOR DISKS

    And the software would refuse it

    3 the s series downloads have lower file sizes since its less capable

    And yes the servera detect this

    So you dont need 4k files

    You do realize you only have a 512gig ssd in the s series right? And thr cpu and gpu arent the same aa the x series because of the limited hardware in the s seriea the downloads are smaller

    If you want disks buy the right product

    How to download updates for Xbox one to Xbox series s

    If you are talking about xbox one disk games that have been installed no those don't apply to xbox series s

    Only affects digital ones for series s

    You need an xbox series x and the disk to confirm you on the gamws

    Xbox one transfer games to Xbox series S issue

    Are you talking about a digital install or a disk install ?

    If disk install then it won't work on the xbox series s you need the digital copy either buy one or get gamepass

    Only digital copies work on serirs s
