Forums - Microsoft - All Xbox One titles will be available as digital downloads the day they are released

Via Twitter:

All Xbox One titles will be available as digital downloads the day they are released. Provided the console is ALSO out. ;)

I thought this was announced a while back. But either way, I'm pretty happy about that and plan on buying the vast majority of X1 games digitally.



Yeah, I remember hearing this a while ago.



Hmm. Provided the console is out? So is that a hint some titles will be out before the console like Call of Duty?

Otherwise, we knew this before. But without you NSanity... this site would not be the same!



It's just that simple.

I assume PS4 is doing this too? NPD and sales trackers are gonna look bad compared to last gen if they don't start counting digital somehow.

Wii U too, since day 01 of it

Digital isn't going to be as widespread on WiiU though. (Just due to hardware and demographics)

Also isn't there an issue with eshop where if you ID gets deleted you lose everything? I read something on that earlier, might be fixed tho.

I brought this up last night and got chewed out for it.  The future of this site is dependent on it's accuracy so hopefully they figure out a way to track it if possible.

Should be since Ps3 already has been doing it for about 2 years now I think (dont quote me on it), They really need a way to track digital :(



Hmm. I don't know if I should go digital or not. On PS4 and Vita I only buy physical because there's a high chance of getting the digital version with plus. Since Xbox doesn't have an equivalent, this is a much harder choice! I love cases but digital is so enticing. No clue ;)
