Could I download GTA V and play it without the disc?

My disc drive doesn't work on my xbox anymore, but if I download the game from the marketplace, is it possible to bypass using the disc and ONLY play the downloaded version?

Yes, Downloading a game will NOT require the disc to be in the drive as you have paid for the license.

This is because of the fact that Microsoft is still selling the license for the disc. This was their plan with the Xbox One and allowing for "Steam-like" usability (log in anywhere and be able to play the game)

I.E. I pay for the digital version = I wont receive the disc but for as long as that file remains on the server, I will have access to it and be able to play it without having to mess with inserting stuff in the drive.

In regards to save files on downloaded games, They are stored in YOUR CHOSEN SAVE DESTINATION. Just be sure to save in the same place and the game SHOULD see the save.
