The Differences:
• Disc Games requires you to insert your disc into your console every time you launch a game while Digital Games do not need that.
• Disc Games can be resold to other people, and you cannot play it on your console even if the game is still installed (you can play it if you buy another disc again duh). On the other hand, once you redeem a digital game, it is “tagged” to your Xbox account for life and can be played anytime, on any console, as long as you are logged in. Notice I highlighted logged in as many people thought that they could share their games with everyone and exploit it but no it doesn’t work that way.
The Similarities:
• Both function as Full, Complete Games. They are no different from each other.
• Both can be played offline. Note that you must still connect your console to the internet when you first install the game to get any relevant or necessary updates and patches to maximise your gaming experience.
So now you know the difference between a digital and physical product, let’s go into how you redeem an Xbox Digital Game Code. They are all 25 digit codes, 3 Known Ways to redeem:
