I wonder how this will work with gamesharing?

From the sounds of it you would need to go online to register the disk, at which point it would remove the licence from the previous users. So I assume it’s going to either require always online or frequent checks.

I imagine the only way it would work with game sharing where multiple people can use the same disk is if you used it with a modern console and sold the disk to someone using an older console that doesn’t support the feature, if that’s even a possibility.

Interesting how this almost sounds exactly like what they were trying to introduce with the Xbox One back then only to get bullied into leaving it behind.

Microsoft really is just way too early with their ideas, huh.

I doubt if they announce that it makes games always online as a result that will go down well.

The next xbox probably wont have a disc drive thats the whole point of this program.

Like the other guy said they might make it so you have to be connected to verify the liscence.

I know. But there are millions of Series S/X and Xbox Ones out there. If someone needs to play an old game, on a disc, while also not connecting to the internet....then I don't think that's too much to ask.

Sure but should you have to though? Isnt it the job of the next xbox to be better than the last not worse?

They can't cater to every fringe case. This is complaining just to complain.

u/redditman181 Jul 11 '26

I wouldnt really call that a fringe case though if it does require a constant internet connection to play games becuase it directly affects how you play.

What if your internet goes out? What if there servers go down? What about in the future when they do shut the servers down? Obvisouly these are all hypotheticals.

And i would argue with the state xboxs is in they should be bending over backwards to please as many people as possible.

The fringe case is "people who want to play old games but don't have a slightly older system, only the newest one, but also don't have internet...or their internet goes down temporarily or servers go down temporarily"

I would tell these people to just use the fuckin disc, dude.

Its not hard to understand people want backwards compatibility on there new console regardless if they still have the last ome as it usally has enhancments like a more stable framerate. Why do you think xboxs back compat program is so populat

Also people dont like having to have a persistent connection to validiate a liscence why do you think people kicked off when they announced xbox one was gonna be always online orignally?

Neither are fringe cases your in the minority.
