A new leak suggests that Xbox may be preparing to launch a long-awaited disc-to-digital feature. The feature could arrive as early as this month, according to a leaked internal email.
The program, reportedly called Project Positron, could let players use a physical game disc to claim a digital license. Players would insert the disc into their Xbox console and link the game to their account.
If the feature launches, it could give Xbox players more flexibility when accessing their game libraries. It may also help players who want to move between physical and digital versions of their games.
The reported feature comes at a time when the gaming industry continues to debate the future of physical media. Recent rumors have also claimed that PlayStation could phase out physical game discs by 2028.
The Xbox program has already caught the attention of players who care about game preservation. Physical media gives players more control over their collections. A system that connects physical ownership with digital access could offer another way to keep older games available.
However, Microsoft has not confirmed the leaked program or its reported launch date. Players will have to wait for an official announcement before the details become clear.
If the leak proves accurate, Project Positron could become an important addition to the Xbox ecosystem. It could also give players a new way to manage and preserve their game libraries.
