Sorry if this question may have already been asked either on this thread or previous threads, but has anyone who has been able to try the disc-to-digital initiative reported if digital licences automatically redeem for any eligible games already installed on your system via disc (I think your Xbox X systems recognise the ones that are), or do you have to pop the disc back in after availability? I've installed hundreds of One and Series X discs onto my local drive and various dedicated Seagate external drives ready for once this becomes available to the wider public, so was wondering how convenient the process will be.
@badboidre Good looking out bro, I'm not familiar with that series at all, will have to check this if STH and RGG stuff is influenced by it. Love the stories, character work and settings of RGG games. Thank you for the recommemd 🙏
Phenomenal. I expected this to fall in the high 60s, low 70s, which would have been enough for me to be intrigued. It instead managed an 81 on Opencritic, with most reviews giving particular praise to the puzzle solving and survival horror mechanics. Essential pick up for me now, cannot wait to get into it.
Was able to get into Persona 5 via Game Pass (game file extracted from a disc) this morning on my device at home, and now watching my brother play EA FC 26 online on another device at his place using his physical copy of the game, both instances using my account.
I just hope it all gets sorted soon for everyone who has been affected by it.

The cope happening around this story is hilarious. Absolutely brilliant.

Re: Xbox Is Officially Putting Time Limits On Cloud Gaming For Game Pass Members
No I'm not on board with this. I don't even play via Cloud but this is a truly horrendous decision.

@badboidre Metro is going to bang so hard, but Stranger Than Heaven is the one I'm hyped for. I am an RGG fanboy though 😅

Metro the other big title in Feb. It's truly stacked.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Could Have A 'Pretty Big Surprise' Lined Up For Gamescom 2026
@Mr-Cage Pretty sure what Jez and Nate are saying is it's a game that hasn't been previously announced.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Could Have A 'Pretty Big Surprise' Lined Up For Gamescom 2026
I reckon if the rumours are true, it's a Perfect Dark revitalisation, repurposed to be a sequel. And if I had to guess the studio, Eidos Montreal.
EDIT: The rumours also indicate the game could release this year. Scratch Perfect Dark then, that won't happen.

Got to love when games in your library just get added to XPA just like that
