Xbox original disc - Series X

Well, I could try and clean the disc even more and then test it on my Original Xbox again, since I know that it works on Xbox One and Series X/S but it downloads the game from disc and only needs the disc for the license, because I prefer to use discs and not digital if possible (unless a game was only released digitally in every country, if some regions only, then I import them), but If this doesn't work, then I may consider getting a new disc and maybe give the old one to say a friend who prefers to play Original Xbox games on their Xbox 360, Xbox One or Series X/S.

But thanks anyway.

Hi Kylo Ren1,

Greetings!

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

For a digital copy, the Game Borderland The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is not listed on the backward compatibility games. So you wont be able to play the game on Series X.

Xbox Backward Compatible Games | Xbox

If you have an Xbox 360 Disc for the game then you should be able to play it on the Series X

The Xbox Series X can play game discs from the original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. For movies, it can play DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs—you just need to download the Blu-ray Player app from the Store app on your Xbox Series X to be able to play those discs.

To insert a disc: With the Xbox Series X in the vertical position, insert the disc so that the top side (with the cover art) is facing the left edge. If the Xbox Series X is in the horizontal position (with the power button in the top right), insert the disc face up.

I think they have given me the wrong disc version

On the disc is says "Xbox One - Xbox Series X"

I believe this is the Xbox one version that is compatible on Series X

Because I'm sure the Xbox Series X disc should say "Xbox Series X" and not Xbox One

I have contacted the seller and awaiting a response but thank you for your help

It actually does. I got the Series X this holiday at $349, and the same disc is working perfectly. I have determined that the Xbox One X disc drive is trying to read Cross Gen discs differently than Xbox One discs. The disc drive on the Series X doesn’t have this issue. You might need a new disc or you might need to send your Series X for maintenance.

I had three discs from different stores..

My brother had the same issue.

The last disc (which wouldn't read on my One X or my original Xbox one) works perfectly fine on my Series X.

It's not a faulty disc.

It's older drives and cross gen games.

My One X played everything else perfectly.

It's an issue with these cross gen x/s discs..

Nothing you can say is going to convince me otherwise..
