Xbox Series X not always reading the game disc

XQC Real · Jan 4, 2023

I recently just got a new game for my Xbox Series X, the first time I put the disc in, it installed like normal and let me play. Though, the next time I wanted to play, it said to insert the disc even though it was already inside of the Xbox. The disc seems to work after taking the disc out and putting it back in repeatedly for around 5-10 minutes. Sometimes when I turn my Xbox on, it immediately boots up the game by itself. Though I do not think it is the disc, as when I try to play it on another Xbox, it works like normal, and it is extremely new and is not dirty or damaged. Though, other discs seem to work on the Xbox.

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.

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.

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.
