Xbox is giving physical game collectors a new way to take their libraries into the digital era.

The company’s new Disc-to-Digital feature allows players to insert supported Xbox One or Xbox Series X game discs and claim digital access to those titles.The feature is currently being tested through the Xbox Insider Program and already supports thousands of games, with Xbox planning to expand compatibility over time. Once a supported game is recognized, players can enjoy digital benefits such as playing without leaving the disc in the console, along with Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox Cloud Gaming on eligible titles.

Now Also Digital.” ) Rockstar Games took an unconventional approach to its latest GTA 6 reveal, teaming up with Netflix to give subscribers the first look at an extended presentation for Grand Theft Auto VI. The nearly 27-minute showcase offered fans a much deeper look at the highly anticipated game, using footage captured entirely in-game on PlayStation 5.

The Netflix-first premiere also turned a video game trailer into something closer to a major streaming event, showing just how massive the anticipation surrounding GTA 6 has become. With Jason and Lucia at the center of the story and the state of Leonida providing the backdrop, the extended look gave players their clearest preview yet of Rockstar's next open-world blockbuster ahead of its November 19, 2026 release.
