Ubisoft: we will no longer be producing physical collectors editions for Xbox software (xbone AND suckies X) only PlayStation will receive physical disc CEs from now on

Holy shit.

 

Ubisoft has changed the Collector's Editions for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6 and Watch Dogs: Legion on Xbox, they now will only include a digital code to redeem on Xbox Live, instead of a physical disc.

PlayStation versions (both PS4 and PS5) are unaffected, customers still have the option to receive a physical disc or a digital code.

These changes are already effective in retailers like Amazon and Ubisoft Store.

Ubisoft didn't provide a reason, only a support page on their website.https://support.ubisoft.com/en-GB/News/000057205/Ubisoft-Store-Changes-to-Collector-s-Edition-pre-orders-for-Xbox

Xbox will stop making hardware in 3-5 year and become an all digital service instead of consoles.

THIS

this is going to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

 

The big-money publisher is now scared of putting alot on money on physical releases for the upcoming Xbox. This is going to spook gamers from buying the upcoming Xbox.

 

Which, in turn, will further the video game publishers. This has the potential to get out of hand.

Game pass probably has a lot of XBox owners not purchase games, but waiting till they go up on game pass.
