Given how Xbox has been run lately and the general state of gaming hardware pricing, it's probably best to assume the worst version of this story that still makes this true, like a super cheap equivalent to Nintendo's "game key cards" where the game isn't fully on the media.

where the game isn’t fully on the media.

That's already the norm for most games on XBox. XBox Series game disks can only hold 50GB, less than a Switch 2 cartridge
