Disc compatibility with One / S / X and Play Anywhere for digital

Forza Motorsport Legacy Motorsport FM7 Discussion

I usually buy the disc version rather than the download version.
I was wondering, if I were to buy the disc version of Forza 7 (so I can play at launch date) will I later also be able to use that same disc to play on the One X? Or is that exclusively for the download version (which currently enables you to play on One and Win10)

Yes … there will only be one physical disc that will play on the One, the OneS and the OneX. Once you get a OneX, the OneX enhancements will be a downloaded update to the game.

Edit: Which, by the way, is the way that all XBox games work across the Xbox One family. There will only be a single version of the games that will play on all consoles. And if you purchase a digital version, then you can add Windows 10 to that list.

1) Games and game discs for Xbox One = Xbox One S = Xbox One X

Introducing the World’s Most Powerful Console: Xbox One X - Xbox Wire

This means that if you buy FM7 on disc, the same disc will play on any in the family of Xbox One consoles. However, the disc will not play on PCs, and the disc will not play on Xbox 360 consoles.

2) Forza Motorsport 7 is a Play Anywhere Title

Q: “Is it safe to assume the same digital code will work for XB1 / XB1 X / PC?”
A: “Yes. As an XPA title, your digital entitlement will work on Windows 10 PC as well as the Xbox One family of device.” - Dan Greenawalt^

This means that if you buy a digital copy of the game, you only need to pay once and you will be able to play the game on any in the family of Xbox One consoles and Windows 10 PCs.

3) If you buy the disc version and later want to play on PC, you will need to buy the digital version.

This means you can play the game on PC without owning a console if you purchase the game in digital version.

As the title suggests, we’ve seen it works on the Xbox One X and One S. But will it work on the first gen Xbox One? I really don’t feel like shelling out more money for this game on an entirely new console

They can take my Xbox One with Kinect when they pry it from my cold dead hands! As far as I’m concern, and this coming from a neophiliac, my original Xbox One which I purchased in November 2013 for the sole purpose of playing Forza Motorsport 5, which I obtained along with the console at Best Buy, is way to NEW to be replaced. I expect to get at least another 3-4 years out his his puppy before I upgrade to whatever. I think Turn10 understand and recognize this and is making all new releases backward compatible to the original Xbox One, which is way cool. I also expect that there may be some firmware updates to Xbox One that provides with with some extra visual punch when this game is released in the Fall. But yeah, no way am I upgrading in just over 3 years of service!

During the E3 show Phil Spencer said something along the lines of all Xbox One games will work across all Xbox One consoles but will look their best on the Xbox One X.

I am glad it will work on my S. I made the mistake of buying it to get the 4k option but then found out that while the S only outputs in HDMI my 4k Asus monitor only does 4k through the DigitalPort. There is no way I am buying ANOTHER Console just to look a bit prettier, because I would also have to buy another monitor to display it. I will have the option of using my PC at 4k, but that will depend on the performance. I can run Apex quite well at 4k but gave up on Horizon months ago. Way too many problems on the PC port.

Just want to clear this up. I have a One, and have preordered the deluxe download edition. When the X is released, I just wire up the new machine, sign in, and download the beautiful 4k HDR version and carry on as normal?

Yes if you buy the digital version it will work on all xbone versions and windows 10 pc

If you’re just going Xbox One to Xbox One X you can use your disc for both machines and just install it on the X when you get the new console so there’s no rush. This is also important because the game comes out before the console.

These days the disc is an almost insignificant portion of the total game size so your still going to have a lot of data to download…
