What Xbox announced
Microsoft has added a set of options for managing the digital licences of Xbox games bought on physical discs. The company described the change in a post on the Xbox Newsroom, according to Everyeye.it.
The options are being tested by Xbox Insiders, the programme that gives early access to Xbox features. Everyeye.it reports that Insiders can separate disc-based games in their library or hide the icon.
The Xbox 360 question
The announcement has led to speculation about older titles. Multiplayer.it reports that an image circulating online started talk that the Disc to Digital feature could be extended to Xbox 360 games.
The same report says such an extension looks unlikely at the moment. Neither source says Microsoft has confirmed or denied Xbox 360 support.
What is not yet known
The sources do not say when the new licence options will reach all Xbox users, or which regions are included in the Insider test. They also do not describe how a disc-based licence is verified once a game is separated in the library.
Microsoft has not commented on the Xbox 360 speculation, according to the reports.
