Xbox Tests Disc‑to‑Digital Feature to Convert Physical Game Libraries

Microsoft’s Xbox division is piloting a feature that converts physical game discs into digital copies. The disc‑to‑digital tool would scan a game cartridge and add the title to the user’s library. The test aims to let players preserve their collections without keeping the discs. Early trials are being run on select consoles to assess performance and reliability. The feature could streamline game management for long‑time Xbox owners. Microsoft has not yet announced a rollout timeline for the broader audience. Industry observers note the potential impact on resale markets and physical media sales. The company will monitor user feedback before deciding on full deployment.
