Complete Xbox Disc-to-Digital Games List, Over 1,600 Discs Tested and Working
Xbox’s disc-to-digital feature is now open to all players, letting owners of physical Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S games claim a digital licence for discs they already own. Not every disc qualifies, though, so players have built their own Xbox disc-to-digital games list by testing the copies on their shelves.
That list lives on XCT.live, an Xbox collection-tracking site, which currently records 1,611 discs that convert, 231 that don’t, and 22 still waiting on a confirmed result. The check happens on the console itself, so you’ll need an Xbox with a disc drive. Disc-free models such as the Xbox Series S can’t read the disc in the first place.
How Xbox Disc-to-Digital Went From Insiders to All Players
Xbox revealed the feature during its Xbox@Gamescom broadcast and announced it for Xbox Insiders on 26 August. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has said the programme supports over 1,000 titles, with more planned. It has since moved out of the Insider test and is available to everyone.
XCT.live logs special editions and regional prints as separate entries, so its 1,611 converting discs don’t map one-to-one onto Xbox’s title count. Even so, with roughly 86% of the 1,864 tracked discs converting, the supported pool likely sits well past that 1,000 mark.
Where to Check Whether Your Xbox Disc Converts
Every verdict on XCT.live comes from a member who put the disc in a console and reported the result, with photo proof reviewed before it appears on the list. You don’t need an account to browse, and each entry links through to that game’s page on the site.
Editions and prints get their own entries because the same game can behave differently between them. On Reddit, one player reported that the Complete Edition reprint of Watch Dogs converts while the original print doesn’t. A list that only names the game can’t capture that, which makes a live, tested database the better place to check a specific copy.
For New Zealand players, that means the exact entry matters more than the game title. Big Ant’s Cricket 19, Cricket 22, and Cricket 24 all show as converting, but a copy bought locally may not be the same print someone tested.
Which Xbox Discs Don’t Convert
Bandai Namco is the clearest gap. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, Bleach Rebirth of Souls, and both Code Vein games are all listed as not converting. Square Enix’s Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion and Balan Wonderworld don’t convert either, and neither do the Xbox One discs of SEGA’s Alien: Isolation and Bayonetta.
A second pattern shows up among discs from the Xbox One’s 2013 launch window. Several of them fail even where the same publisher’s later releases go through:
| Disc That Doesn’t Convert | Publisher | Later Disc That Converts |
|---|---|---|
| Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (Xbox One) | Ubisoft | Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced |
| Battlefield 4 (Xbox One) | Electronic Arts | Battlefield: Hardline |
| Call of Duty: Ghosts (Xbox One) | Activision | Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare |
Black Flag is the sharpest example, since Ubisoft’s Resynced version of the game converts while the original Xbox One disc doesn’t. If your collection leans on discs bought around the console’s launch, you’re likely to hit more misses than the overall numbers suggest.
Anthem Is on the Converting List Despite Its Server Shutdown
Some discs on the converting side aren’t worth much once claimed. Anthem shows as converting, but EA shut the game’s servers down in January 2026, and BioWare’s online shooter can’t be played without them. A licence for it adds a line to your library and nothing else.
A “does not convert” result isn’t necessarily final either. XCT.live keeps a separate status for discs that need a retest after their publisher opts in, so a game that fails today can move across once its publisher signs on.
