Microsoft has marked a significant shift in its gaming strategy by publishing more games than before but reducing the number of physical editions available for Xbox consoles. Major titles like Oblivion and Ninja Gaiden 4 will receive only digital codes for Xbox, contrasting with their physical counterparts on PlayStation 5. This change has sparked concerns about the preservation of games for its current generation of consoles, particularly evident in the reduction of Xbox products in retail spaces and the lack of physical releases for notable exclusives.
We are supportive of physical media, but we don't have a need to drive that disproportionate to customer demand. We ship games physically and digitally.
Microsoft's big first-party exclusive Senua's Saga: Hellblade II didn't get a physical release, highlighting a shift away from physical media.
