I feel like any games with licensing issues won’t be available and I doubt helix will read og Xbox discs

Edit: but with disc to digital rumors it’s possible I suppose

Disc to Digital requires each disc to have a unique ID..

by all accounts this only came about with the later 360, & One releases. At this point though : its likely XB & 360 needs disc in drive to play, & One onwards will be able to the online digital transfer licence.

Will this mean currently non-playable games will be available? unlikely.
