Resident Evil and Monster Hunter maker Capcom has said it won’t see much of an impact from the death of physical game sales, as the vast majority of its titles are already sold digitally.<\/p>\n
Responding to a query in its most recent investor Q&A, Capcom replied to a question asking whether the publisher would be impacted by the shrinking physical game market. <\/p>\n
Of course, Sony has now said that it will ditch game discs completely for new PS5 games sold from January 2028 onwards, and there’s an expectation that this means the PS6 will be entirely disc-less, too. Indeed, new consoles are already being shipped with warning labels, cautioning consumers of the upcoming changes. Xbox, meanwhile, is believed to be developing a system of transferring game licenses from physical game discs to digital ownership. <\/p>\n
Nintendo currently operates on a hybrid approach, with physical games featuring a mix of regular cartridges, Game-Key Cards and digital codes in a box (the latter of which is how the Switch 2 port of Diablo 4 will reportedly arrive). Notably, though, Nintendo has recently incentivized digital purchases for new Switch 2 games by making them around $10 cheaper than their boxed counterparts. <\/p>\n
