It’s significant that such a headline is even necessary! However, it appears that Xbox no longer values physical media judging by recent developments, in contrast to what Phil Spencer, their spokesperson, stated about supporting the sector just over a year ago.
You might have noticed that the PS5 editions of DOOM: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle came with only a minimal amount of data on their discs upon release. It appears that The Outer Worlds 2, priced at $80 at launch, will adopt a similar approach.
However, as reported by Spanish website Vandal, Gears of War Reloaded might break the norm. Based on their retail sources’ information, the Blu-ray version of this remaster will carry the complete game on the disc itself, allowing you to play it from start to finish without requiring an internet connection.
In 2025, it’s clear we’ll see updates, but for the sake of preservation, we believe publishers should deliver full games from the get-go. If Marcus Fenix’s PlayStation debut won’t necessitate any extra download, then that’s a relief for enthusiasts of physical media.
As a dedicated fan, it’s intriguing to note that so far, Microsoft has only promised a physical edition of this game exclusively for the PS5. It’s surprising, given the legendary status of the Gears of War series within Xbox’s gaming library, that there seems to be no intention to release a Blu-ray version on their own console.
