    Xbox will not read game discs


    I have not used my Xbox in quite some time and recently decided to play a game. However, none of my games work (they all used to and are in great condition) however it will play music cds.

    I have tried removing the memory units, added them back in and reset the box countless times. I checked the unit for dust as well. I do not get an error code, instead it says:

    *open tray (pretty simple, I then put the game into the slot and close the tray)

    *reading (sounds like it might be doing something but doesn't)

    *open tray

    It can't seem to read any of the 3 games I have, which as I stated all previously worked.

    Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix It?

    :)

    HELP ME PLEASE! XBOX ONE BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY NOT WORKING AT ALL?!?!?!!?!?!?

    Hi,

    It's not the discs it's your console. If your console can not read DVD movies then it won't read Xbox 360 games either. DVD movie discs use the same type of discs that 360 games use (DVD-9).

    The Xbox One has two lasers to read discs. One for Blu-rays - which Xbox One discs games are made of - and one for reading DVD's and Xbox 360 games.

    Can't install red dead redemption 1

    Hi,

    Do other BC Xbox 360 game discs work on your Xbox One? For the Xbox One to recognise the game and download it from Live it must:

    • Be able to read the disc. Check if the disc is dirty or damaged
    • Have a working Optical drive capable of reading Xbox 360 discs. Try other BC discs or test a DVD movie.

    The Xbox One has two diodes for reading discs in the optical Blu-ray Drive. A red laser is used to read Xbox 360 and DVD movies and a blue laser to read Xbox One games and Blu-ray movies. If the diode for reading DVD's is faulty, BC Xbox 360 discs won't
    work.

    Xbox One X Enhanced Games

    Xbox Game discs are not read/write discs, only read. So the patches that enable 4k content are downloaded to your Xbox. Games that are made as 4k discs are 4k capable. Hope this helps.

    Playing mp3 on Xbox Series X

    no, as the xbox will only read game discs, move discs and cd audio discs.

    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.
