Converting a disc game to digital on PS5 is not directly possible. To play a digital version, you would need to purchase the game again from the PlayStation Store. However, if the game supports free digital upgrades, you can insert the disc into the console, and it will offer to download the digital version. Remember, this only works with the standard PS5 model, which includes a disc drive.
