TL;DR

A Digital Foundry podcast suggests Microsoft’s Project Helix might include optical disc support to keep backward-compatibility and lure players who resist a fully digital next gen, potentially giving Xbox an edge over Sony’s all-digital PS6. The plan could involve an external drive or a disc-to-digital path, but the news rests on leaked sources from before Xbox leadership changes, making it speculative rather than confirmed.
