Do I need to install the entire game to my hard drive before I can play it?

No. Some Xbox One games are pretty large, and installing the entire game, especially if you’re downloading it, can take a while. You can start any game before the installation is complete, though not all game features will be available. If you watch the download in the Queue or Games section of My games & apps, 'Downloading' changes to 'Ready to start' when it's available to play.

Will I lose my game info and/or progress if I reinstall it?

How

The Xbox One console saves your gameplay data to the cloud, so if you’ve played your game online, you can resync your game with the cloud once you've reinstalled it. See Xbox One cloud game saves: FAQ.

Can I play another game while installing one on my Xbox One console?

Yes. You can always play digital games when you’re installing a game from the Microsoft Store or from disc. You can also play games from disc if you’re installing from the Microsoft Store.

However, you can’t play games from a disc if you’re installing from the disc.

Can I install a game while I'm offline?

Yes, you can install a disc-based game while you're offline. See Using Xbox One offline.

Why do I have to install a game if I have the disc?

Optical disc drives can’t read data quickly enough to keep up with modern games, so you get the best gaming experience when you install the game from a disc on your Xbox One console.

Why does it take so long to install a game?

Game installs depend on how fast a drive can transfer files. The maximum data transfer rate for the Xbox One disc drive is currently 54 Mbps. If you think your game is installing too slowly, see Troubleshoot slow game or app downloads on Xbox One.

This page explains How to Redeem an Xbox One Code, such as a free game code or gift card.

Using Kinect[edit]

Above: IGN explains how to use the Kinect's QR feature.

Game Codes For Nintendo 64

You can use Kinect to redeem a printed Xbox One gift card, giveaway or any other QR code accompanying a promotion. You can still type in the code manually if you wish.

Call out to the Xbox Kinect using the voice command, 'Xbox, Use a Code.' This will activate the Kinect to view the room you are in. Hold up the retail code that you purchased at a retail store, such as Target or GameStop, which will be in the form of a QR code. By holding the QR code close enough to the Kinect camera, the Kinect will automatically read and redeem the code for the software you have purchased within seconds. The download will start thereafter.

Note: The Kinect is able to read QR codes out as far as 6 feet.

A Vine exists of Major Nelson redeeming a QR code via the Xbox voice command, as well.[1]

QR Code Generator[edit]

Various websites/apps out there will allow you to turn your 25-character codes into QR codes for easy Kinect redeeming. You can then print them out or display them from your smartphone.

Manual Entering[edit]

You can also use the old fashioned way of entering an Xbox One code. Go into the Xbox apps to find the 'Use a Code' portion of the menu system. You may have to thumb through it to the right a little bit. Once there, select to enter the 25-digit code manually. Scratch off the numbers on the back of the card that you purchased and type them in individually. Your content will unlock thereafter.

Smart Glass[edit]

In addition to Kinect or Manual entering, the Smart Glass app can be used as a remote keyboard for entering codes. This is probably easier than typing from the controller.
