  1. Xbox Series X can read Xbox One game discs, but not Xbox 360 discs


    No specific error, but my series x (while brilliant) cannot read 360 game discs even if they're on the backwards compatibility list.

    An example is Black Ops 2, it is on the list but it refuses to read the disc (disc isn't really that badly damaged for 12 years old).

    The disc drive clearly works, so don't say replace it because I'm not going to regardless.

    Any fixes for this that don't involve a factory reset or money?

    :)

    EaFC24 Won't Read disk

    Hello, Andrew. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

    First, it is important to point out that a physical game can't be converted to a digital one because the game license is attached to the disc itself.

    Besides that, would I know, is an Xbox Series X or Xbox One the one that doesn't read the disc?
    Additionally, the other console that read the disc, is an Xbox One, or a Series X?

    Moreover, is this EA FC24 for both the Xbox One and Series X, or only for one of those consoles? You can check this by looking at the box.

    MW2 will not play

    The Xbox series X will not read the MW2 disc, I have returned it and tried 3 separate copies of the MW2 disc, the console will play other games/discs and read dvds/blue rays as well. But will not read any MW2 disc I insert into the console. The disc will read on my Xbox one. I installed it there and network transferred all the data to the series X and upgraded all the data that was transferred but the console refuses to read the MW2 disc.

    Xbox One S is not playing certain DVDs

    I take it Blu-Ray disc movies are working okay? Have you tried many of the ones you own? Games are detected?

    Bear in mind that the Xbox One S, One X and the current Series X actually have two lasers, one for reading DVD discs (including Xbox 360 discs) and one for reading Blu-Ray discs, which also includes Xbox games as they are also on BD-Disc.

    If the DVD laser is giving out, it won't read certain DVD discs, and this is likely the reason for the issues you are experiencing. This is also why Blu-Rays and Xbox One games are not effected. There is nothing wrong with your DVD's, it's the console's optical drive that is faulty.

    Backwards compatibility

    Hi,

    Can you please check other backwards compatible Xbox 360 games (if you have any) and see if they prompt you download.

    Call of Duty WW2 is an Xbox One game and as such is on a Blu-ray disc. Mortal Kombat (2011) is an Xbox 360 game and is on a DVD disc. It may surprise you to know, the Xbox One and Series X have different lasers built into the optical drive to enable the reading of different types of discs.

    It's possible that the laser that reads Blu-rays is fine, but the laser that reads DVD discs is faulty.

    Try a DVD movie disc (not an HD Blu-ray disc). If these also do not play, then the fault is with the drive and you'll need a repair or replacement console.
