It’s possible to purchase in advance several forthcoming Xbox games, such as Gears of War: Reloaded, directly on the PS5. However, some players have reasonable concerns about the amount of game content that will be found on the physical discs they receive.
During the Xbox Showcase, two additional games – Ninja Gaiden 4 and The Outer Worlds 2 – were announced for pre-order. However, it’s worth noting that The Outer Worlds 2 has an ‘Online Required’ caveat which might raise some concerns.

Additionally, they share a warning similar to The Outer Worlds 2.
In contrast to Ninja Gaiden 4, the label ‘Internet is Not Required’ isn’t present, yet it’s a ‘Digital Game Code’ for play on the Xbox Series X|S.

Our observations hint that Microsoft has ceased including complete game data on Blu-ray discs, which seems to make the benefits of physical media less significant in our view.
