What caused the problem?
This Xbox series X console issue is related to Microsoft’s Smart Delivery system, which doesn’t allow users to install games directly from discs when they insert game discs (Xbox One / Xbox Series X ) is different on the new console. Instead, the new console is used to install updated versions of games from the internet even though the Series X console is perfectly capable of running most Xbox One titles directly from disc.
This means users can now play many of the Xbox One or Xbox Series X branded offline games. However, the new console won’t let users play original Xbox or Xbox 360 games. without updates.
Xbox offline gaming: Exceptions
Xbox series X consoles require users to create and log in to an account to access the game. So the user must connect to the internet at least once while setting up the console. In addition to this, there are some games (called “stubs”) such as Forza Horizon 5 or Halo Infinite does not include the full version of the game. So users will also need to be online to download the latest versions of games, expansion packs, and more.
