Xbox Begins Insider Rollout of Disc-to-Digital Feature, Citing Game Preservation

Xbox’s official account posted that its previously announced Disc-to-Digital feature (physical discs unlocking digital licenses/benefits like Play Anywhere and cloud gaming, while the disc still works and the license transfers if the disc is sold/loaned) is rolling out today to Xbox Insiders. The post frames it as an important step for game preservation so players can keep confidence that bought games stay available long-term.
