![]() ![]() For cross-gen, Smart Delivery games, the discs simply can’t fit all the game data for both generations so they require the game data to be downloaded first to play. Note I’m just talking about Series X here, Xbox One has no online requirements for playing disc games (unless that changed with Smart Delivery games too, i don’t know).įor Xbox One games, they need to download their own individual backwards compatibility layer/config to play. It’s not about an update requirement, it’s about whether the disc has all it needs to play the game and for majority of games now the discs simply don’t. Ok… But let’s say it is a Series X game only, (or Xbox One console and Xbox One game) how would the Xbox know the game needs an update? Or do publishers ship games that simply can’t be played, with hard-coded instructions to go online and download an update before it allows for the game to be played? If you have any other questions, feel free to reply back to me or me. However, if for whatever reason, a situation arises where you have to reset the console with or without removing the games already installed, you will have to validate each disc based game again which would require an internet connection. If it’s just you, you should have no issues playing disc based games. Make sure your console is set to “My Home Xbox” which is what mine is set to and my console is just for me so if you game share and whatnot, you may have other issues. Scroll down and select quit.įrom here, you should be good to go. I normally go to the title screen and then press the massive X button to go back to the dashboard and then quit the game/app which you can access by pressing the Menu button. From there, update the game first if there’s an update. Once completed, you connect the Series X to your internet connection. For example, you install a game disc while Series X is off-line (this is so it doesn’t update the game while installing the game disc which takes forever). You can play your physical disc based games once you “validate” them via an online internet connection. ![]()
