Microsoft's disc-to-digital program for Xbox, which allows players to obtain digital rights for disc-based games, has expanded to over 1,000 titles in testing. Ubisoft has now joined the program after initial delays, with other major publishers like Square Enix and Bandai Namco expected to follow as they finalize contracts.
Xbox's new disc-to-digital conversion service, which lets players acquire digital licenses for physical games, has encountered issues with several publishers opting out or delaying participation. Users report that games from Sega, Ubisoft, Square Enix, and Bandai Namco show "not participating" messages, though Xbox indicated the rollout would be gradual and these companies may join later.
