Recently, Microsoft took its place on the agenda by obtaining a new patent. Thanks to this patent, a CD can be inserted into the Xbox Series S console.
Recently, players and companies have turned to consoles that are completely digital. These consoles have advantages as well as disadvantages. The most important disadvantage can be said that the games that you have and belong to your old console cannot be played. It seems that Microsoft will solve this problem with the new patent.
However, it should be kept in mind that not all patents obtained by companies are implemented one hundred percent. Years ago, Sony had a patent that turned a Banana into a controller. However, as you can see, the PS5 does not have such a feature. However, this patent, which Microsoft received, aroused excitement in the gaming world. Thanks to this patent, you will be able to insert a CD into your Xbox Series S console.
How is a CD inserted into the Xbox Series S console?
The patent, discovered by Game Rant, explains how to insert a CD into your Xbox Series S and Xbox One S consoles. The patent allows the user to insert a disc into an external disc drive, thereby verifying the disc, making the game playable on Xbox Seris S and Xbox One S. As Game Rant pointed out, this verification will likely be a temporary authentication.
Otherwise, users may tend to sell the game they have verified. Xbox seems to have been working on such a plan for a long time. In 2018, journalist Brad Sams addressed a similar issue in an article titled “From Disc to Digital.” It also fits well with Xbox’s current market strategy. It is not yet clear whether Microsoft will implement this plan, we will wait and see.
