Xbox disc game not playing

Are you playing the games with the Xbox 360 game disc in the drive? It is no different than Xbox One disc-based games, in that you must have the game disc in the drive to play it.

If I understand correctly you are trying to play games that you own on disc, right? Even if the game is installed on the console you need to insert the disc to play the game because the disc is the proof of the purchase of the license of the game, but
since your new console does not support disc games you need to purchase a digital license of the game in the xbox store to play these games on your xbox one s all digital ... As of now is impossible to transfer a license from disc to digital

The compatibility for discs and games only works backwards, not forwards. Xbox One discs can be played on the Xbox One, Xbox 360 discs (being the older console) can be played on the Xbox One and the Xbox 360, Xbox discs (being the oldest console) can be
played on all three consoles. The Xbox One is currently the newest console that is out, and therefore, its games only works on its system.

Past that, you'll have to get the right disc to play on the Xbox 360... it should say Xbox 360 on the case and the disc for the game.

Usually the disc will spin when your xbox is in even if you're aren't playing the game. If you're afraid of it scratching your disc, remove the disc if you know you're not going to play it to not risk the xbox damaging your disc.

If you purchase disc games instead of online games ,do they still need to download before playing or can they be played like a Xbox 360 game, put in disc and play?
