Square Enix has committed support to Xbox, but it has come with a caveat. Seemingly, there are no physical versions of its upcoming games for Xbox. This seems to be happening more and more, but why?
The thing with XBox ecosystem is that Game Pass has been so successful at conditioning players to get their games all digital, that physical sales are super low
Well I havent bought a physical game since…idk halo 5 maybe? Gamepass wasnt a thing at that time and physical sales have been trending down for years before gamepass, but sure, lets say thats the sole cause.
