Xbox boss Phil Spencer says the gaming consoles will continue to support physical disks, but admits that console audience growth is stagnating.
It’s no surprise that the broader tech industry has largely moved away from physical disks to digital subscription-based models. But Microsoft’s Gaming CEO Phil Spencer says Xbox isn’t trying to do away with disks just yet—even though making disk slots could become challenging in the future.
„Our strategy does not hinge on people moving all-digital,“ Spencer said in a recent interview with Game File. „Getting rid of physical, that’s not a strategic thing for us.“
While Spencer implied that disk slots have become somewhat old-school at this point, Xbox consoles will continue to offer both disk-compatible and diskless options if gamers still want to choose.
