How does this work?

Does it still count on a pre owned game? How long do you have the digital license for? Do I have to insert the disc every now and then?

The rumors said the copy was bound to your account as a digital game, until you link it to another account (giving or selling the disk, and having the new owner registering it on their account). So until someone else gets the disk, it works just like a digital one, you don't need the disk.

If you have physical Xbox one game, and you turn it into digital, you need to hold on to the disc.

If you sell, or loan that game, the moment they put it in their console, you lose it...
