It is alleged that this is due to extremely low sales of games on physical drives. Not long ago, information also appeared on the Internet that Microsoft had closed internal divisions responsible for the distribution of games on media
According to GamesIndustry.biz editor Christopher Dring, several European retail chains have stopped purchasing Xbox games on physical media.
According to Dring, the reason was the fact that it is extremely unprofitable for stores to sell games on media due to low demand for them.
Although most AAA projects from various publishers are released on media, the same Alan Wake 2 was available exclusively digitally. In addition, Hellblade 2 from Microsoft itself will also not be released on disc.
