Even though it can take me ages to download games, especially those that take up tens of gigabytes, the convenience of being able to boot up what I want to play without fiddling with discs is worth the pain of a long download. With the speedy SSDs of the Xbox Series X and PS5, that convenience is going to a lot more pronounced, with the ability to switch between games on the fly.

Having the ability to swap between games on a whim means that dragging myself off the sofa to swap discs will feel even more repellent. It's already bad enough that I have to insert a disc for a fully installed game due to digital right management (DRM), even though that disc isn't needed for content purposes.

I don't know if this is going to be an issue for the Xbox Series X or the standard PS5. But I'm not keen to take the risk, which is why the PS5 Digital Edition and Xbox Series S appeal to me, especially as the former looks better than its disk drive-equipped sibling.

Not only will the PS5 Digital Edition and Xbox Series S make gaming more convenient, but they could also drive a proper surge in digital downloads. This could encourage more competitive game prices in online stores, as annoyingly, it can still be cheaper to buy a physical copy of the game.


Even if that doesn't happen, online services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Now deliver access to digital downloads for a recurring but rather reasonable fee, particularly if you game a lot. This makes the idea of ordering a physical game online, let alone going into a store to buy one, seem like an arduous task not worth the effort. This strategy has worked for Netflix, Spotify and other streaming services, so there's no reason why Microsoft and Sony can't build upon their digital games services.


When it comes to the environment, that change is a good thing. Fewer physical copies mean less plastic and other material used on retail games. It's especially pertinent when you consider that a lot of the time when you install a game using a disc, you're then prompted to download a good chunk of supplementary content. You might as well just download the whole thing.

In short, the digital-only next-generation Xbox and PlayStation consoles are very much a good thing. They could not only make life better for gaming, but also help reduce the impact of new tech on the environment.

Well I am glad they are gonna go the delivery for free and not charge people. If I bought the new Halo game and then got Xbox Series X and had to pay to have it over to the new Xbox I'd be pissed.



I mean they have to do it .. so many ppl that play xbox lol


Right on that how many people do play Xbox. And then they will most likely upgrade. No ones gonna pay that extra money. Plus they'll have to many pissed off customers.
