Following an initial rollout to Xbox Insiders, the Xbox disc-to-digital program is officially available for all Xbox One and Xbox Series X users. The program allows you to receive digital licenses for a whole bunch (but not all) of your physical Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S games, and Microsoft has outlined how it works and a pretty neat trick you can use.

In order to claim your digital license for a supported Xbox game, all you need to do is put it into an Xbox console while you’re signed in. You’ll get a notification to let you know you’ve received a license. One cool thing is this can be an Xbox Series X or an Xbox One console, even if you’re exclusively claiming Xbox Series X games.

While the disc will also automatically start installing when you insert it, you can turn this feature off by going to the Profile & system section in the settings, then Devices & connections. You’ll see an option for Disc and you can uncheck “Play disc automatically.”

This way, you can more quickly claim licenses in bulk. With a disc inserted using this method, you’ll have to manually select the game card on the home screen, select it with the Menu button, and then claim the digital license. Once that’s done, you just eject the game and move on to the next one. When you’ve finished the process, re-check that “Play disc automatically” box for whenever you get your next physical game to play.

If your license isn’t available to claim, there’s a good chance the publisher doesn’t support the program. Major companies like Square Enix and Ubisoft don’t appear to support it yet, which could limit its usefulness for those who want to truly digitize their entire collection.

Once you’ve claimed the digital license, you should still be able to lend the physical game to a friend, but they will then get the digital license. If they give the disc back to you, you’ll receive the license back after re-inserting the game into your own system.
