Summary

Xbox fans are struggling to find physical pre-orders for its big upcoming games, suggesting the company may have stopped making physical discs.
The Outer Worlds 2 and Ninja Gaiden 4 have pre-orders for PS5, but only digital pre-orders are available for Xbox, with codes included in boxes for deluxe editions.
It's the same for Gears of War: Reloaded, a first-party game that you would have bet money on getting a physical for Xbox. The all-digital future is now.

If you're a gamer that enjoys actually owning your games, then the future probably looks a bit spooky for you. Not only do we have 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation selling optional disc drives, buꦫt Nintendo's new Game-Key Card system is also rꦫaising concerns that the all-digit✤al era may be a lot closer than we all thought. In fact, if you're an Xbox fan, it may already be here.

Xbox managed to raise quite a few eyebrows when it seemed as though PlayStation would be getting a physical version of Gears of War: Reloaded, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:but not Microsoft's own console. Fast-forward a couple of months, and❀ it now seems as though Xbox has just stopped making physical discs for all of its big upcoming games.

Xbox Is Seemingly No Longer Selling Physical Discs For Its Big Games

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Release dates for The Outer Worlds 2 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ninja Gaiden 4 were revealed during 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sunday's big Xbox Games Showcase, and pre-orders have gone up for those that want to snag their copies early. Unfortunately, it seems as though large retaiღlers such as Best Buy aren't actually taking pre-orders for standard physical copies.

There are physical Xbox pre-orders for Deluxe Editions of The Outer Worlds 2 and Ninja Gaiden 4, , and don't include a disc. Meanwhile, both games are getting standard physical editions on PS5, suggesting that Xbox is just about doဣne selling its games on physical discs.

Of course, these two games aren't absolutely gigantic titles, and Gears of War: Reloaded is more a PlayStation re-release than a full-blown remaster, so we'll have to wait and see whether this trend continues when 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:heavy hitters like Gears of War: E𒆙-Day, Fable, Halo, and the next Forza game get closer. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:If Halo is going digital, then we can pretty much assume Xbox fans just won't b🐲e buying physജical games anymore.

It's disappointing news, but not all that surprising given that physical sales have been very low for Xbox and PlayStation, and with thꦆe news that The Outer Worlds will cost $80 at lau♛nch, it's difficult to see a physical version selling all that well. We saw with Doom: The Dark Ages that Xbox fans will ju🌟st use Game Pass for first-party games, rather than buy them physically. Seems like the alꦿl-digital era is on th✃e horizon, and I really hate it.
