Pushsqure has postet an articel with the ratio of game bought pysical or digital this year. The ratio goes up for digital games. I’m still buy most of my games pysical, but what do you prefer.
I like that i’m able to resell, rent games and i have a bigger market for discouts in pysical games. I guess the biggest advantage if digital games it’s how easy it is to obtain them and you don’t have to stand up switching games. Not surprised that the games sold on the Switch have a much higher ratio of pysical games, there is just not enough memory on the system.
US
- PS5: 78% digital, 22% pysical
- XBS: 91% digital, 9% pysical (no gamepass included)
- NS: 53% digital, 47% pysical
EU
- PS5: 68% digital, 32% pysical
- XBS: 81% digital, 19% pysical
- NS: 35% digital, 65% pysical
The Xbox numbers doesn’t even have gamepass or Digital indie games included. Reality is, that the digital number of played games are a lot higher. I even see shops doesn’t sell xbox games anymore
Yeah, with gamepass, it was probably close to 99.9% or something.
