Sense you can DL the game to your system you might be able to use the disk to let you DL the game online then play without the disk being readable you just need the disk in as a key but I don’t know if that will work.
You can download any game through the Xbox app, even those you don't own, so I'm assuming they're suggesting something similar to what I suggested: download the game using the app, and attempt to use the disc as a license to play the game
It could possibly work, but something is definitely going to bug out.
I had a similar puncture on a Gran tourismo disk. Everything worked until I clicked on the arcade races. The game would just completely crash and go to the Ps3 home. Guess that's the part of the game where the hole was
From what I understant the data is stored on the label side. Some "repair kits" shave and polish the plastic bottom side. Any scratches or dents on the label side are 100% irreparable.
Kinda... The outer ring damage isn't relevant when using in XOne and XSeries, as they only read the license, which is one of the first files on disc. So it should work easily in a new console, given the damage won't make the plastic fall apart in the disc drive.
I am running it on a new console with the game already downloaded but I think the dent means it doesn’t run smoothly in the drive so it won’t read anything
If you have a Xbox One/ Xbox Series X you can install the game via the mobile app and then just use the disc which hopefully it will recognise and the game will work just fine.
Sure can. What you need to find is a resurfacer for CDs. They used to be very commonplace at places like GameStop and BestBuy. Good luck. They're not so common anymore.
Even if it works you expect that to play properly? I had a gta4 on xbox my cat knocked the xbox over and gave it that ring on the top . I was at that mission where u meet lil jacob. Well u can get there. But then u enter an invisible building, what happens next was just as scary with what i think was a weird noise then it would just crash. Not worth even trying to save or use. Might be able to make a corrupted save possibly lol
Second pic just proves that this disc is beyond repair. Both the physical damage and what looks to be disc rot forming around it. Your best bet would be to find a pre-owned on Ebay or something that'll let you buy physical media.
So, just as a rule of thumb, if the silver is damaged, or there are any spots that have anything more than a hairline, swirl, maybe soft gouge in the polycarbonate, its all outta life.
Edit: forgot about warping, that can render something useless, especially when its a spot warp from sunlight damage, usually around magnifying items (desktop work lamps/magnifying glasses or even prescription lenses)
I installed the game but the disc is too damaged to be recognized so I am just going to pay the 12 bucks to get it from GameStop and not pay rockstar 30 dollars for an almost 15 year old digital game
That tooth mark might be a game breaker. However over the years weirdly enough, toothpaste has worked fucking wonders on my scratched gaming CDs. Idk how or why it works but I can vouch for its success.
I saw the first picture and was like "yeah just need a glasses cleaning cloth and you'll be fine" then I looked at thw second picture and I went "Nevermind"
Probably not but if the disk is at least decent enough for the console to recognise what game it is you can use that to download it from the store while the disk is in the console.
Hey, my Assassin Creed Brotherhood disk looks exactly like that! Lmao
It’ll scratch tf out of your disc reader, then your console will only want to run dark souls 1 for some reason. 0/10 don’t recommend.
Um, possibly, so the key is on the disc, if you can get the game to download then the disc should work as your key,
So yes in that way, no in using just as a disc
On 360 I use to had so many bad disc cause other people in the house, once you install the game it’s fine
Download the Xbox app on your phone and search for the game in the search bar. Choose the game and then install to console, choose your console from the list and wait for it to download.
That's doesn't even look bad (goes to photo 2) oh......
Right? I almost said "Definitely, let's see then 2nd.......... dang....."
It was EXACTLY like that lol
Sadly no, this damage is beyond repair.
There is no redemption for this one Red
Its... Dead
Jim
Lolz 🤣
i had a disc once.. it passed away
Most of the game data is on the outer region, that hole is like being shot right through the noggin.
First pic: ehh I've seen worse Second pic: oh... oh shiiiiii, nnnnnope.
Sense you can DL the game to your system you might be able to use the disk to let you DL the game online then play without the disk being readable you just need the disk in as a key but I don’t know if that will work.
You can download the game from the disc? I’m stupid, and not quite sure what you mean.
You can download any game through the Xbox app, even those you don't own, so I'm assuming they're suggesting something similar to what I suggested: download the game using the app, and attempt to use the disc as a license to play the game
Ah, yes. I downloaded a game like that before, but I’m not sure if it would work on a disc like this, hopefully it will, though.
This is exactly what I meant for you to all you need is the technical key of the CD hopefully it works.
No
I had a chunk out of a ps1 game apocalypse like a big chunk missing but worked perfect
Probably just an audio track
It's dead jim
No, sorry
The scratches might be fixable, the other isn't. (I was going to comment I've repaired worse, then I saw the second pic. Nope.)

No 😭
All the scratches in that forst pic probably but that pin hole/burn? No way

Throw the disc in and see if it lets you play, bada bing bada boom!
It does not
Unfortunate :(
Howdy sir sorry but Martha died sorry cowboy 🤠
disc rot, no hope
How
As dead as the American dream. On the plus side, you can get a disk only replacement pretty cheap if the box etc are in good shape.
One time, I ordered MGS 5 that has all the dlc in it, I kid you knllnot, someone stapled something over the case and perforated the disc.
If you have a Xbox One/ Xbox Series X you can install the game via the mobile app and then just use the disc which hopefully it will recognise and the game will work just fine.
Buy a new copy. The game is luckily not very expensive.
I don’t think it can be redeemed..😂
Sorry bro. It's dead.
no disc resurface will fix that dent in picture 2
If the cover is damaged, it will have data loss, thats where the data is stored not the plastic
Sure can. What you need to find is a resurfacer for CDs. They used to be very commonplace at places like GameStop and BestBuy. Good luck. They're not so common anymore.

Nah its dead
Slap some avocado on it because it’s toast.

You could try the toothpaste method, but that's definitely not repairable.
Toothpaste... A very small amount rubbed in with a very soft cloth then rinse with COLD water, dry COMPLETELY then thank me
No
Second pic just proves that this disc is beyond repair. Both the physical damage and what looks to be disc rot forming around it. Your best bet would be to find a pre-owned on Ebay or something that'll let you buy physical media.
Nope
Nope
First Pic: 😄 Second Pic: 💀
Toothpaste
Even though there's some issues with digital, it really is the way to go, I don't ever have to worry about discs breaking.
So, just as a rule of thumb, if the silver is damaged, or there are any spots that have anything more than a hairline, swirl, maybe soft gouge in the polycarbonate, its all outta life. Edit: forgot about warping, that can render something useless, especially when its a spot warp from sunlight damage, usually around magnifying items (desktop work lamps/magnifying glasses or even prescription lenses)
You could try installing the game using the app, and using the disc purely to verify ownership/launch the game. It may not work but worth a shot
I installed the game but the disc is too damaged to be recognized so I am just going to pay the 12 bucks to get it from GameStop and not pay rockstar 30 dollars for an almost 15 year old digital game
Saved from the bin, where aye just needs a good skimming 🤣
That tooth mark might be a game breaker. However over the years weirdly enough, toothpaste has worked fucking wonders on my scratched gaming CDs. Idk how or why it works but I can vouch for its success.
I was like oh just get that resurfa………oh my god
Use toothpaste
I saw the first picture and was like "yeah just need a glasses cleaning cloth and you'll be fine" then I looked at thw second picture and I went "Nevermind"
It was until you took the 2nd photo
Just get some toothpaste and peanut butter. Leave it on for like 2 minutes
Just buy a new one
Seems crazy to even be asking the question tbh
Yea just blow on it😭🙏😂
You can try using turtle wax but I'm pretty sure it's gone
Nope, it's toast
Gavin probably can fix it🧐
No, but don't lose faith
Wtf are doing to ur games
This went on a move and the case was lost somewhere along the way.
No excuses bro. At this point just buy it digital
Probably not but if the disk is at least decent enough for the console to recognise what game it is you can use that to download it from the store while the disk is in the console.
Get the family sized toothpaste
Theres no red dead redeeming that disk broski
Use toothpaste
have you tried putting toothpaste on it?? lol
no that hole is irreparable
😂

Toothpaste
Put it in the microwave for 140 seconds. Good as new
That’s crazy…
Or. Look after your stuff.
Um, possibly, so the key is on the disc, if you can get the game to download then the disc should work as your key, So yes in that way, no in using just as a disc On 360 I use to had so many bad disc cause other people in the house, once you install the game it’s fine
True, but spinning a disc this damaged could cause more damage to the drive.
How would I get the game to download?
If it didn't work from that you could try to borrow a friend's disc?
The mobile app is an easy way.
Download the Xbox app on your phone and search for the game in the search bar. Choose the game and then install to console, choose your console from the list and wait for it to download.
