Microsoft is continuing to expand its Xbox Disc to Digital testing program, with three more games now supported and several existing issues fixed.
The latest update adds Split Fiction, A Way Out and It Takes Two to the list of compatible titles. Microsoft has also corrected problems affecting Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition and Halo Infinite while continuing to add more third party games.
The feature remains in testing through the Xbox Insider program, and Microsoft has not yet announced when it will become available to everyone.

Three EA games join Disc to Digital
The biggest change in the latest update is support for three EA titles.
Split Fiction, It Takes Two and A Way Out can now participate in the Disc to Digital program.
All three games are heavily focused on cooperative play, with Split Fiction and It Takes Two coming from Hazelight Studios. A Way Out is another cooperative adventure from the same developer.
Their addition shows that Microsoft is gradually bringing more major third party publishers into the program rather than limiting early support to first party titles.
Ubisoft games were also added recently, further expanding the range of physical Xbox games that can work with the system.
Halo Infinite and Alan Wake 2 issues have been fixed
Microsoft is also correcting problems discovered during testing.
Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition now properly grants the additional content included with that version when processed through Disc to Digital.
Halo Infinite had a more unusual problem in which the game could be recognized without giving access to its campaign. That issue has now been fixed.
These kinds of problems help explain why Microsoft is still treating the feature as an Insider test rather than releasing it publicly.
The company has created a central update hub where it can list compatibility additions, fixes and other changes as development continues.
Disc to Digital is still being actively tested
Xbox announced Disc to Digital only a few weeks ago, but the service has already received several updates.
The basic idea is to let owners of supported physical Xbox games convert their disc ownership into digital access.
Support depends on individual games and publishers, so having a physical disc does not automatically mean that title will qualify.

The current implementation is focused on Xbox One and Xbox Series games. Original Xbox and Xbox 360 discs are not part of the program.
One technical reason is that newer Xbox discs produced from around late 2014 onward use identifiers that can support the Disc to Digital system. Older discs do not work in the same way, which makes adding legacy games considerably more difficult.
Older games would also need to be supported by Xbox backward compatibility before they could run on modern consoles.
Public release date remains unknown
Microsoft has not announced when Disc to Digital will leave Insider testing.
Access is still being distributed through the Xbox Insider program, and even some Insider members may not receive every experimental feature immediately.
The regular addition of supported games and fixes suggests Microsoft is still refining compatibility before a wider launch.
For now, the latest update makes the service more useful by adding three well known EA games and resolving two notable licensing problems. More publishers, games and technical fixes are expected as testing continues.
