Xbox’s disc-to-digital move puts PlayStation’s physical game strategy under more scrutiny

XBOX-Disc-to-Digital

Xbox just announced its new disc-to-digital initiative, making PlayStation look even worse amid the ongoing debate over the obsolescence of physical game discs.

PlayStation has faced massive backlash following its recent announcement. Rockstar Games, meanwhile, faced an even more incredible situation after a leaker revealed major details and footage of the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, following the developer’s decision not to release the game in a physical disc format.

Discontinuing physical discs is very anti-consumer, as it prevents game owners from physically owning their games and doing whatever they want with them after completion.

Now, Microsoft is playing the good guy by introducing its disc-to-digital initiative. Xbox recognizes that gamers have built libraries of physical games, and this move will allow them to continue playing their games while enjoying the benefits of going digital, including support for Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

To make it work, users can simply insert supported disc-based games into their Xbox One or Xbox Series X to receive a digital entitlement. The physical disc will continue to work as it normally does.

The feature will be available for testing to Xbox Insiders starting August 31.
