Xbox physical games are likely coming to an end in the very near future, no doubt about it, but to take this as a sign that gaming physical media as a whole is dead couldn't be further from the truth.

Now that Xbox is moving away from the Series X/S, fans have begun to wonder what could be next for the brand, and I’m hoping ...

However, the PS5 versions of these games do have discs, creating an interesting discrepancy. Xbox fans are understandably upset that these games are only being sold in a true physical format on PS5.

Microsoft is reducing its global workforce by nearly 4%. Gaming is among the departments affected, and as a result, Xbox has abandoned games like Everwild and Perfect Dark.

If you own a physical copy of these games, you still can’t stream them on other devices. That’s not surprising, but it’s sure to disappoint Xbox users that still like to buy physical games.
