"Xbox's Phil Spencer Affirms Support for Physical Media Amid Digital Shift Rumors"

Xbox boss Phil Spencer addressed questions about Microsoft's stance on physical media, stating that the company remains "supportive" of it but doesn't prioritize it disproportionately to customer demand. While an all-digital future for Xbox may be inevitable, Spencer emphasized that the strategy does not hinge on going all-digital and getting rid of physical media is not a strategic move for them. This comes amid rumors of an "adorably all-digital" Xbox Series X refresh and Microsoft's confirmation of releasing four previously Xbox-exclusive first-party games across PlayStation 5 and Switch.
