As an Xbox fan, you have played Elder Scrolls (or any other game) for a long time. Although you load it online, you always need a disc to run it. Now, you want to change, and in the place of the disc, you want to go digital. How do you do it?
Well, converting an Xbox disc game to a digital one is impossible. That is because when you bought the disc, it registered on your console using a special license. Unfortunately, that reason only makes it necessary always to have the disc whenever you want to play the game. So, you can’t circumvent the license ‘thing’ and make the disc game digital.
But, if you really need a digital version of your game, sell the disc on Craigslist or eBay. With the money, you can buy the codes from Microsoft Store, and they will work just fine.�?

Can You Digitally Download Xbox One Games From Disc?
No, you can’t.
That’s because any digital downloads require that you have Internet. However, you can install the disc-based game without a connection because the disc comes preloaded.
TechBiva 101: Even though installing the disc alone is possible, you’ll need an internet connection to play the game. That’s because any game will ask for updates, and you can get those online only.
Can You Play Xbox One Games Without The Disc After Installing?
Yes.
If you are on Xbox One, all you need to do is sign in and install it to play the game. You won’t need a disc because a digital copy of the game exists in the cloud and on your console.

Can You Convert A Disc Game To Digital?

How Do I Play A Disc On Xbox One Digital?
You can’t.

If you have any disc-based game and need a digital version, you can’t convert it directly. But, you can always resell it and use the money to buy digital codes on the Microsoft Store. Also, anyone who owns the Xbox One digital shouldn’t rely on discs because they won’t work.
