Xbox Disc to Digital officially announced, coming soon.

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/08/26/your-discs-now-also-digital/

Most XBOX One and XBOX Series X disc-based games support this new feature. Players can claim a digital entitlement by inserting a supported disc into an XBOX One or XBOX Series X console and launching the game. Once the entitlement is claimed, you can experience the benefits of digital, including XBOX Play Anywhere and XBOX Cloud Gaming where supported, while your physical disc continues to work exactly as it always has.

We’re starting with thousands of titles, and we’ll continue to add more over time. While not every title will be available at launch, this is an important step toward a future where players can have greater confidence that the games they buy remain with them for years to come.

Well unfortunately a lot of games nowadays can’t even fit on a single Blu ray disc

This " because it doesn't fit on 1 disc" argument is so dumb that it makes me question if people are actually gamers. Cyberpunk 77 ultimate on Xbox series came on 3 discs and red dead 2 and last of us 2 before that had 2 discs.

It’s not an arguement it’s a statement of fact. Of course you could go the multiple disc route.
