This has actually been a thing on PS/Xbox for quite a while, discs that just contain a download code essentially.

It only really blew up in terms of controversy on Switch 2 cos they gave it a name and were open about it.

Name one game on PS/Xbox that essentially had a download code before the Switch 2 launched.
