>>7643>And correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that 2024 is the year when a major first party title doesn't get a physical release.Starfield had a disc release but the game wasn't even playable off disc. As soon as you finished installing the game from the disc and booted up Starfield, you had to go to the Microsoft Store and download 55GB. Microsoft could have shipped Starfield on multiple discs but chose not to.
Hi-Fi Rush and Age of Empires II Definitive Edition didn't get Xbox physical releases last year. Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 aren't playable off disc. IIRC, Microsoft Flight Simulator doesn't even boot up from the disc unless you are connected online to Xbox Live.
