Xbox – Do installs of multiple-disc games to the hard drive still require you to change the disc

xbox-360

On the Xbox 360, along with the option to install games to the hard drive, you can also apparently install multiple-disc games to the hard drive, but I haven't tried this.

For instance, L.A. Noire and Rage have 3 discs, and Dead Space 2 has 2 discs.

I know you have to have a disc in the drive to start an installed game. If I install all discs to the drive, will I still have to switch out discs when the game gets to the portion requiring a new disc, despite the fact that they are all installed?

Best Answer

Yes, with a few exceptions. Forza 3, for example, comes on two discs but one of the discs is data, so if installed, disc changing is not necessary.

The reason you need to insert each disc is a way of making sure you possess the physical game disc at the time you are playing.
