The share of physical Xbox game sales in the US has dropped to 4%, trailing behind PlayStation and Nintendo. More and more Xbox owners are choosing digital versions, a trend linked to the popularity of the Series S and the Game Pass subscription.
Starting in 2028, new PlayStation games will be available exclusively in digital format, a decision that has sparked discontent among fans of physical media. Despite the protests, Sony points to the growing popularity of digital versions, though some users are concerned about the potential impact on the market and competition.
