    Xbox Series S External disc drive.


    I just found an old cyberpunk disc and wanted to play it since it's gotten better from release, so I was wondering if anyone knows if external disc drives are compatible with the series s? And can you use them to play games too?

    Play my old disc games on xbox series s

    You cannot play discs on Series S, as it has no disc drive with which to validate the copy protection. No, an external drive will not be possible. You'll have to purchase them digitally, or use an Xbox with a disc drive

    Hi There.

    You are not able to use external Disc drives or network transfer of gaming disc to the Series S.

    The Series S is digital download only and physical game discs are not usable on the system.

    Will the xbox series s support external disk drives.

    Hi Oliver.

    No external optical drives will be supported on the Series S/X. For disc based gaming, you will need to purchase the Series X, NOT s.

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

    I apologize, but it is not possible to play disc-based games on the Xbox Series S since it does not have a disc drive. Copying or moving the game through an external hard drive or using an external disc drive will not work, as the game license is tied to the physical disc itself. If you wish to play your disc games on the Xbox Series S, you will need to purchase their digital versions.

    The Series S doesn't have a disc drive. If you've tried using an external drive, it won't work. You would need the Series X In order for it to work.
