Xbox's disc-to-digital program includes a hidden feature that can be extremely useful to certain players, as it allows them to digitize Xbox Series X games using an Xbox One.

Xbox One owners can insert Series X games into their older console, and while it can't read these discs, it does recognize them. Once the disc is in, a warning will pop up letting players know that the "game isn't compatible." After closing it, they open the options menu and select "claim digital license" in order to assign the game to their account — successfully digitizing an Xbox Series X game on an Xbox One.

This way, players can claim the digital license of Series X games without actually having access to the console. Though it only applies to players in specific situations, it makes it possible for them to take advantage of the perks that come with owning physical media even if they own the current-gen digital console, Xbox Series S.
