> 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. 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.

    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.

      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.

> It’s always fascinating that people say things that are verifiably untrue. Like, really? I have an Xbox One X and there is no disc drive. 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.
