  Xbox Is Turning Physical Games Digital... But There’s a Catch

  Xbox is testing a new feature that lets players turn supported physical Xbox games into digital entitlements - but what does that mean for physical game ownership? We break down how the new disc-to-digital system works, Xbox's upcoming monthly limits for cloud gaming, and the new option to buy cloud gaming time without Game Pass. Plus, PlayStation is launching free ad-supported live TV on PS5, and this week's Video Game Fun Fact dives into some of the weirdest licensed spinoffs ever released on the Game Boy Advance.

  Are Physical Xbox Games Already Dead?

  Aug 24, 20261h 40m

  Physical Xbox games accounted for just over 4% of new physical game sales in the U.S. this year.

We also discuss Dave Bautista officially becoming Kratos in Amazon’s God of War series and the leaked GTA 6 footage reigniting a surprisingly heated debate: should cars need gas? Plus, our Query Corner explores why mobile games evolved from simple pick-up-and-play experiences into increasingly complex games, and our Video Game Fun Fact looks back at some of the strangest licensed kart racers ever made.
