Xbox Game Disc - Is it normal or my Game Disc is peeling off the layer?

LeokiM32 · Sep 23, 2022

Hello! First time (or at least I don't remember as last time I had console was PS4 with also Game Discs but it was many years ago) I noticed on the Game Disc around the Disc Layer that some are parts like a white uneven layers, and I wonder if it's something I should be worried that the Game Disc is peeling off the layer? I didn't scratch it, it's all good with it but I'm worrying. The other Game Discs I do have are not having this issue and they have a one layer around the 'hole' in the Game Disc and there's nothing like the 'white-like' layer. I circled the weird white-layer in blue, so you know what I mean. I do care about Game Discs to be in as good condition as it's possible for years... I do hope everything is fine? Can anyone tell me if it's normal? The Game Disc is working properly but still, I'm a bit worried as the white layer is very uneven...

I mean I never saw before (I guess) this kind of thing. It's just that among the XBOX branding there, there's a dark-layer and then this dark-layer is very uneven, showing off the 'white layer' or whatever it is. Should I be worried that someday soon it will NOT work?

I didn't notice it until I checked the Game Disc if it's not having any dust.

It looks like the authenticity hologram, it's nothing to worry about.

Problems with discs are rarely visible without a microscope, the layers sometimes are not glued properly and oxygen gets in and "rusts" the aluminum data layers. This is referred to as "disc rot"

Hello , I have the GTA V game for Xbox One on physical media for a few years now and it is peeling and I can't play anymore because the Xbox does not read the disc. I was wondering
if I can get a digital version of the game to compensate for the poor quality of the disc. Other games are also peeling and soon I will lose them too.

No. The only way to get a digital version if all you have is the disc version would be to purchase said digital version.

Hello Brad!
The discs are peeling on the bright side, not on the sticker.where the game was recorded.They are stopping running the game.The film is dropping and leaving the discs transparent.And the game is crashing.
Thank you for your help

Sorry to hijack this thread but I'd like to know something.

I have the normal discs.

Would it be OK if I delete all of the normal disc 2 DLC, then install the Ultimate disc 2, and then use my normal disc 1 to run the game?
