Many people own an Xbox One S/X, Xbox Series X, or PS5, which can all play 4K Blu-ray. Many more people own a PS3, PS4, or regular Xbox One, which can all play regular Blu-ray.

Xbox One S/X doesn't have a disc drive, Xbox Series X doesn't have a disc drive, PS5 needs the disc drive bought separately and paired over the internet. Only the original Xbox One had a disc drive integrated.

Only the original Xbox One had a disc drive integrated. It’s always fascinating that people say things that are verifiably untrue. Like, really?

    OP may have meant Xbox Series S and X? Honestly a partly blame MS, their console naming has always baffled me.

      My Xbox One X legitimately has no disc drive.
      - afavour 3y ago
        Weird, everyone I can find online says that the One X has a disc drive.

        The Xbox One X certainly does have a disc drive, it's a little out-of-the-way though. Check on the left side of the front of the console, under the overhang.
        LoganDark 3y ago
        I checked and you are right, apparently it does. It's weird that I was never able to find it before, because I did look under the overhang, but was unable to get any discs in there. Oops.

        Not to dump on LoganDark, but I find it absolutely fascinating that you owned an Xbox and legitimately only today discovered that it has an optical drive! EDIT: Definitely shows the shift to online game delivery in a way that I have not seen before.

        I grew up with a 360, and knew about the drive on the original Xbox One, but I really could not tell that my Xbox One X had a disc drive. I don't know how I missed it.

      I meant One S and One X, plus Series X. The One S and One X are refreshes of the One, with the One S getting 4K HDMI and Blu-ray support and the One X getting both of those plus more power and 4K gaming support. There was a version of the One S that didn't have an optical drive, but it was a bit of a flop. The Series X is one of the two successors to the One line (along with the Series S), with the Series X having a 4K Blu-ray drive and the Series S not having an optical drive. Source: I own all of them except for the One X.

I remember having an Xbox One before that did have a disc drive. When I looked it up, the first search results are news outlets saying the Xbox Series X/S are not going to have disc drives...

    > PS5 needs the disc drive bought separately You can get a PS5 with a built in disc player. Ironically one of the reasons I bought a PS3 was to play Blu Ray movies. But during Covid I ripped all my physical media and got rid of them, I only use the disc model of the PS5 to play my old PS4 games.

  The regular One S and the One X both have 4K Blu-Ray drives (the One S All-Digital Edition doesn’t). The Series X does have a 4K Blu-Ray drive (the Series S doesn’t).

    I have a One X (the Gold Rush Special Edition) and there is no disc drive. At least I haven't been able to find one.

      > At least I haven't been able to find one Isn't there a slightly wider hole the left (other side than the Xbox log) between the top part and the black bottom part? You should be able to fit a disk there even if it's pretty hard to notice... e.g.: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+XhWct5lL._AC_SL1500_.jpg https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+XhWct5lL._AC_SL1500_....

        Apparently so?? I've never been able to fit a disc there. Oops.

  There are 2 versions of the PS5: base and digital. The base version comes with a Blu-ray drive that can play Ultra HD Blu-ray discs.
  - LoganDark 3y ago
    The "base" one didn't exist when the console first released, there was only digital. The "base" version bundles the disc drive that is normally purchased separately.
    - SpikeMeister 3y ago
      That is incorrect. The PS5 disc version was available at launch. The recent refresh has an optional disc accessory.

      They launched with one with a built-in disc drive and one without. For their mid-cycle refresh they changed it to a single model with a disc drive add-on but sell a SKU that includes the drive in the box.
