The Digital version is essentially a code that you would receive in an email and then type into the Xbox store on the Xbox itself. If you happen to own multiple Xbox One's you can share one Xbox Live account to your family and all digital titles you own can be shared and played across both systems without the need of a disc for both systems, or multiple game purchases, so that is a benefit. But I'd weigh that against the ability to trade-in a physical copy of the game, especially if you only own one Xbox system.

No difference between the disc and the digital edition. Same content, but the digital version is a download that will be associated with the Xbox Live account that it is redeemed on. It is tied to the Xbox Live account which is signed into a particular Xbox One.

digital means it downloads directly to your console if you have space and don’t mind not having the CD then you are good to go

Karen · Answer

The digital game has to be downloaded to your Xbox. So, no. You dont have a hard copy to use on a different Xbox.

Rich · Answer

The main difference between the two is that the digital version requires the full game to be downloaded and is playable without a game disc, whereas the other is a physical game disc. There is no difference to the game or gameplay. 

An additional feature of owning the digital version is that it can be downloaded and played on a computer with Windows 10.

Yes, the digital and physical versions of Forza Horizon 4 are identical. A digital code good for a full-game download will be sent to you. It will be tied to your Xbox Live account, and can be downloaded on more than one Xbox One.

The digital is the same game - it is just a download so you won't have a physical game to take to a friend's house for example. I used to only buy physical for the reason that if my child wanted to take it to a friends he could, but then they would come back scratched, he'd forget them, so we switched to digital for some games.

Xbox is new to me. But if it is the same/similar to PS4. The game of course would be the same as the disk version, it just would reside on your harddrive. As for using it on other machines, if he/she logs onto their own account on another machine, they should be able to down load and play. It should only be available on their own account, not on the machine as a whole. Hope this helps
