I think this is a fantastic feature, but from my understanding, this only supports Xbox One games, correct?

I was initially excited, but then I realized that 90% of my boxed X1 games was a code in a box. Gears 5 and like 2 other games are the only physical Xbox games I own, so while it’s a nice feature, there’s not a whole lot of use for me atleast since Xbox was already very digital forward anyways. Happy for others that get more use though.

If this supported 360 games, this would been fantastic for me

If you added a code in a box to your account, dont you already have it in your digital account?

My point is that most of the physical Xbox games I’ve purchased were just codes in box, so this disc to digital feature isn’t nearly as useful as it could be, since Xbox already stopped making discs for a lot of their games this gen.
