Didn't Mixrosoft try this already with thr Xbox 360?

I remeber "digitally" ripping Fable 3 to my HDD to run it. Still needed the disc for license validation.

I expect the same here.

    What you're talking about is also how every physical Xbox One and Series S and X games behave. This would be, how I see it, also allow you to use the game without the disc at all and it would also be tied to your account. You can then trade the digital license, I guess.

    Well that's installing from disc but still using it to play the game, a precursor to the way it continued to work on future Xboxes (with the differences that install was optional on 360, and that on later Xboxes sometimes games required a download to even install).

    This rumor would have to be a step further.
