  1. Xbox Game Pass and Disc downloads


    So I recently got a new xbox and I also got a 3 month game pass ultimate membership with it and I didn't plan on using game pass so I would just use the 3 months and switch over to gold once it ran out. So because of that I bought some games in disc form
    and the one I will be using as a example is Forza Horizon 4. When I put the disc in it showed up on the home screen and I hit A on it and it started downloading it. While downloading it said it was downloading some from the disc and most from network. Once
    finished it said game pass on the icon and when I booted up the game it said game pass in the corner, because I technically had game pass despite downloading it using tht disc. So my main question is do I own a disc version or a game pass version because when
    I switch over to gold if I technically own the game pass version I can't play it and will have to redownload and I dont want to risk save data.

    :)

    Things that microsoft developers should fix on Xbox Pass?

    One thing I feel like they should fix is the error with downloading a game from a disc and it downloads it from the game pass. I have had so many friends have this problem. Most have GOTY editions which come with the dlcs on disc but when it downloads
    the game through game pass it doesn’t travel the dlcs.

    Playing a game without the disc in the Xbox

    What do you mean by the Xbox One does not have any digital version of games? Everything stored on the Xbox One is digital. On the non-disc based games the license is stored on the HDD while on the disc based games the license is stored on the disc.
    Did you read my post correctly?

    If for example I had a game in my collection on disc, installed from disc, then suddenly the game either became a Games with Gold, or a Game Pass title (assuming I had a game pass sub), that disc based game will no longer ask for the disc, should I attempt
    to launch it without said disc. The console will know I own the 'digital' license for it and won't check to see if the disc is present.

    Sometimes there is confusion on these forums regarding games, installed from disc or downloaded. The disc games and the downloaded games are the same, only the way you get them is different.

    That is the point I'm getting at.

    Cancelling game pass issues

    So, are you saying that all preowned games that were on discs are no longer playable on the xbox series s without game pass or repurchasing as a digital download?

    How to stop getting the game pass version of call of duty modern warfare 2?

    While the game does indeed need to fully download, it's not a 'Game Pass version' as there no Call of Duty games on Game Pass.

    Even though the game is largely a download, you'll still need to put the disc in the console to prove ownership and launch the game. If you don't have the disc in the drive, the console will ask if you own the game.
