The usual story, Xbox 360, bumped, ring scratch, disc unreadable. My question is, if I buy a replacement skyrim disc, will all my saved games and add-ons be lost, or will they still work, just with the new disc.

Best Answer

The optical discs used for games are a read only media, nothing you do in game is stored on them, only on the storage in your console.

As long as you buy a disc from the same region your original disc was, your progress and DLC should still work.
