Microsoft has quietly tweaked the infrastructure of its shiny Xbox Series X hardware to now allow the playing of Xbox One games without the need for an online DRM check.
The post Xbox Series X removes DRM checks for Xbox One games appeared first on Destructoid.
The new “feature,” which is included in the console’s 2206 Update, will allow Xbox Series users to play their Xbox One games in an offline capacity.
Previously, the console would always do a brief online handshake to ensure that the Xbox One game in question was an authentic, licensed title and not a copied disc — The Xbox Series S, being discless, obviously had no need to perform this additional step.
