Xbox Disc to digital | Eusebio05

Is your Ark on Digital or Disc

If its on disc make your disc is clean if its on digital then it might be a problem with your xbox

The only way to get your disc game working on the "All digital" edition of the Xbox One is to purchase the game digitally.

It's not possible to "convert" a disc game to a digital game. Otherwise you could buy a disc, convert it to digital, and sell the disc to someone else who would then convert to digital, sell the disc and so on, until the whole world has the game digitally,
and only one disc was sold.

So the only way to get a digital copy of your disc based game would be to buy the game digitally again.

digital game or disc? if it's disc, clean it up.

if it's digital try hard reset xbox and try again.

nope, this has always been this way, the disc is the licence, the disc has to be present for licence auth, if no disc then you need to own the digital licence therefore purchase a digital copy, it has been well known that the consoles with NO disc drives require digital games only, this was the same with Xbox one digital and Xbox series s, if you want to run a disc then you need the series x.

This is the same on all platforms too.

You could try selling the disc copy privately to make the money towards buying the digital version.

Eventually discs will be discontinued on future consoles and then only digital will be available.

I play PC I own a lot of disc games from decades ago, but I have repurchased all digital as PC is 99% digital only now.

Specific to Xbox One, Digital allows for play without a disc present. It prohibits resale. Games purchased digitally can often times be refunded with a call to Live Support. I did this for the Xbox One version of the Destiny Digital Guardian Edition after
the news came out about the buy on 360, get it on Xbox One for free.

Disc-based games must have the disc in the console to be played. They can be resold. Disc-based games routinely go on sale unlike Digital, though MS has been better about sales on digital titles as of late.

There is no "size" difference as both digital and disc titles deposit the same bits on to the Xbox One HDD. In fact, installed-from-disc titles can be converted to digital titles (and thus obviate the need for the disc) by simply buying the digital version
of an installed-from-disc title. No re-downloading is required.
