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

    It’s probably 95% digital now for me.

    I tend to buy 1st party Nintendo games in physical form still but because of more PC gaming and having Xbox Gamepass for that last couple years I’ve moved mostly to digital.

      i posted that here and on ps community and no any gaming community, because i’m sure pc gamer have mostly digital games. Are there even physical version of most pc games? But i would say you go with the trend buying switch games physical.
