Arguably most games out there these days are digital only. I mean, with the 360 shutting down, many are concerned about a little over 200 games that were completely digital being lost to time. And that was 10 years ago when the 360 waned down.

Today, it's mainly just the AAA games that receive physical copies, which indie game releases far outweigh the amount of AAA releases, and rightfully so. Even Nintendo has released some digital only games for some of their IPs like that Super Kirby Clash game alongside their "99" series.

So it was only a matter of time before AAA games started trending in that direction as well. This year is Alan Wake II and Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Next year and the year after, the trend will only continue. Who knows, by the end of this console generation, we may be in all digital gaming space.

Hell, the biggest games in the industry like Apex Legends, Fortnite, Destiny 2, etc. you're never going to be able to find physically because they're FTP or have been supported for so long like Rainbow Six: Siege, and have since been updated for modern consoles that it's now pointless to get the disc.
