Microsoft has no plans for allowing gamers to turn in their digital Xbox One titles in exchange for store credit.

It turns out that the survey in which Xbox One consumers were asked if they would be interested in a digital trade-in for their Xbox One games for a store credit was actually not hinting at such an option becoming available soon.

According to an earlier report at Tech Times, the survey question asked consumers: "If the console digital games store for the console you owned offered customers the option to 'sell back' their digital games to the store for 10 percent of the purchase price in store credit, would you be interested in such an offer?"

If a consumer was trading in his Rise of the Tomb Raider game, he would get approximately a £5 ($7 USD) rebate on the title's £49.99 ($71 USD) price. It may not be a lot, but for someone who has no plans to play the game again, trading it in is absolutely a nice alternative. In addition to the rebate, it would also mean being able to clear up some space on the console's hard drive. Deleting the game to gain additional space is just like throwing it away, along with the money that was used to purchase it.

Aaron Greenberg, Head of Xbox Games Marketing at Microsoft, sent out a message on Twitter that confirms that Microsoft is not actively planning the rumored trade-in.

@michaelpachter Yeah we are not actively planning such a thing, surprised it was even asked in a survey. Not fire being played with :-)

Greenberg's tweet also explains why Microsoft gave no indication on how trade-ins would work. It also sheds light into the confusion on whether the trade-ins would be an Xbox One exclusive feature or if there would be a chance of extending it to Windows 10 games.

It cannot be denied, however, that a lot of Xbox One users welcomed the idea of trading in their digital games despite the low trade-in value they would get in the end. Most of Microsoft's full-priced games would allow gamers to get around a $6 rebate because of the 10 percent trade-in offer.

Perhaps in the future, Microsoft will allow Xbox One digital trade-ins if there is a huge demand from fans. For now, however, the company hasn't given any hint that it will be allowed in the foreseeable future.
