If I purchase a physical copy, do I only have to download the day-1 update? Or is it like how Battlefield 4 worked: You had to download the entire game because the disk only had the installer files, but then afterwards you could play without having the disk in the PC.
If you have to have the disk in the Xbox, would this mean, instead of the ~50gb, Halo 5 will only take up 5gb+ for updates and stuff? Since the majority of the game is on the disk?
I just needed some confirmations. Thanks.
You know how PC games have codes that allow access to them? The disk is your code, the game will be on the Xbox and the disk will act as your licencing agreement. This stops you from selling it after you’ve installed it.
You have to have the disc in. There have been a couple times where I’ve actually ejected the disc and was able to play the rest of the level on multiple games but after you move to a new menu, it’ll ask for the disc
Physical copy requires the disc to play as it doesn’t have the NoBR key attached to it.
You need the disc in the console to play. And no matter which option you choose (physical or digital), the game will always take up the same amount of space on your hard drive.

You would think it would only take 5GB+ if you own the disc huh? I thought this too. Got my fist Xbox One game on a disc… boy, was I wrong… still took the same amount as a digital copy! Like whaaaaaaaat!!!
Went digital and never looked back.
They have done this because they want to transition into digital only for the 9th generation of consoles.

Actually they did it because of blu-rays, a blu-ray has a vey slow reading speed which makes it impossible to play from the disc without having extreme loading times are textures not loading.
