Kane99 Posted June 26, 2025 Posted June 26, 2025 Physical media seems on its way out, and it looks like Xbox is already abandoning physical media themselves. A while ago it was rumored that Xbox was going to stop producing physical games for sale, and it looks like that may actually be starting to come true. The new game Cronos: The New Dawn from Bloober Team will not have a physical release on Xbox Series X|S, but it will have a physical release fry Skybound on the PS5. This news is where they are speculating that Xbox is skipping out on physical media. If we end up seeing something like GTA VI released digital only on Xbox, than we can confirm than that it's official. What do you think of this?

Or maybe they will only focus on special releases?
Scorpion Posted June 28, 2025 Posted June 28, 2025 It strongly suggests Xbox is moving away from physical media as a standard. While they might do special collector's editions, the widespread shift to digital-only for many titles, including Cronos: The New Dawn, indicates a clear future for the platform. If GTA VI follows suit, it's pretty much confirmed.
