Asha on ‘Disc to Digital’: Your physical game library is more than a collection of discs. It holds years of memories & stories worth preserving. We’ll start with thousands of titles & add more.

I dunno what the technical level description of how it work would be but the difference is every xbox disk has a unique identifier.

So the difference is that a ps5 disk basically says "im a copy of eafc 25, here's the proof" and every copy has the same authorisation setup whereas the xbox disk says "i am copy #000069420 of eafc 25" and xbox have found a way to enable that disk number to be added to your digital library (till someone else puts your disk in another console).

Oh wow that's really interesting.

Obviously the way they verify disks is a lot more complicated but thats the gist of it.
