To watch a DVD, Blu-ray, or Ultra HD Blu-ray movie on an Xbox Series X, use a model with a disc drive and install the Blu-ray Player app from the console Store. The Xbox Series X Digital Edition has no disc drive, so it cannot play physical movies.
Which Xbox consoles can play movie discs?
The disc-drive Xbox Series X supports movies on DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. Xbox Wire’s Xbox Series X|S FAQ, published November 12, 2020, says to download the Blu-ray Player app from the console Store to play them.
Do not assume every console with “Series X” in its name has a drive: Microsoft’s UK Xbox Series X Digital Edition listing identifies it as digital-only and says it does not play physical discs. The Series S is also all-digital, and Xbox Wire says external USB disc drives are not supported; a USB DVD or Blu-ray drive is not a workaround.
How to play a DVD or Blu-ray on Xbox Series X
- Check that your console has an optical disc drive. A digital-only model cannot play physical movie discs.
- Connect the console to your TV and turn it on as usual.
- Open the Store on the console and download the Blu-ray Player app.
- Insert the DVD, Blu-ray, or Ultra HD Blu-ray movie disc. If playback does not begin, open the Blu-ray Player app.
Supported movie disc formats
| Disc format | Supported by disc-drive Xbox Series X? | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| DVD | Yes | Requires the Blu-ray Player app. |
| Standard Blu-ray | Yes | Requires the Blu-ray Player app. Standard Blu-ray is not the same format as Ultra HD Blu-ray. |
| Ultra HD Blu-ray | Yes | Requires the Blu-ray Player app and a disc-drive console. |
These formats are listed in Xbox Wire’s Xbox Series X|S FAQ. The format list does not guarantee that every individual disc or authoring variant will work.

If the console will not play the disc
- Confirm the disc is a DVD, Blu-ray, or Ultra HD Blu-ray movie and that your console has a disc drive.
- Check the disc for visible damage and make sure it is inserted correctly.
- Look for a region marking on the disc or the back of its case. Sony’s general disc-support guidance explains that Blu-ray region codes may limit playback to players for a matching region. Xbox-specific region compatibility is not established by the cited Xbox format guidance, so do not assume every imported disc will work.
- If the disc is rejected after these checks, the cited Xbox material does not provide further troubleshooting steps for that situation.
