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
With my Switch I think the only digital game I own is Diablo 3 because I got the D3 Special Edition Switch and it came with a download code.
I specially got a disc edition PS5, but shortly after buying it I started to lug it between home and work and I was always forgetting games at one place or the other, so I started to buy digital.
Most of my discs are in a disc case that is easy to transport. But i get why you do it
Mine were too, but I would forget it.
