Xbox users have recently discovered a feature allowing them to recover delisted games through a new disc-to-digital program. This feature, initially launched for the Insiders program, enables players to convert their physical Xbox discs into digital licenses.
If you own an Xbox Series S, this means you can enjoy your physical disc collection without extra costs. Some users have even reported success in obtaining digital copies of games that have been delisted for years by using their discs. Notably, titles like Lego Dimensions, Avicii Invector, and Deadpool are among those that can still be accessed.
This program also works on Xbox One consoles, permitting players to claim digital licenses for Series X/S titles, even if they are not compatible with the Xbox One. However, certain games, particularly from publishers like Sega and Ubisoft, have shown incompatibilities with this feature. Additionally, some EA games have proven to be successful in transitioning to digital form, while others have not.
As the community continues to test various titles, an ongoing list of compatible games is being compiled. More games may become available as more publishers opt in to this new feature. For users interested in tracking tested titles, a community-run spreadsheet is available.
