Your physical game library is more than a collection of discs. It holds years of memories and stories worth preserving. Starting next week, XBOX Insiders can unlock a digital entitlement for supported physical games. We’ll start with thousands of titles and add more as we can.
How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.

| Product news the same kind of announcement | 769 | 805K | 35.2x | 8 |
| over 100K followers accounts of a similar size | 611 | 1.4M | 20.4x | 18 |

What this launch shows
From an account with 265K followers, this reached 107.1 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, over 100K followers, reach a median of 2.4 times their following, so this travelled about 44.1 times further than usual for its size.
It ranks 18 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 41.2 times the median of 688K views.
Reposts led, 25K at 8.7 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.5. A repost is an endorsement without a comment, and a launch with an unusual repost rate was being passed along on purpose.
Bookmarks: 20K. Replies: 8K. One bookmark for every 10.7 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
The first line is “Your physical game library is more than a collection of discs”. It carries a 23-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory. The copy runs 47 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.
There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people. It went out on a Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Giving people something to reply to covers this: the conversation is what carried this one. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Consumer AI is on that vertical's directory page.
