Xbox's 'Disc to Digital' program expands again as SEGA joins a growing list of supported publishers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Xbox’s disc-to-digital feature has been in testing for insiders for about a month now, and the momentum is picking up. Ubisoft joined the program not long ago, and SEGA has now seemingly followed suit. Beyond the new publisher participation, there have been some tweaks to how the feature actually works.
