Ubisoftin "Senior Vice President" Chris Early on ottanut kantaa ajatukseen fyysisten pelien kuolemasta. Hänen mukaansa fyysiset pelit eivät ole menossa minnekään, vaikka eivät olekaan se tavallisin tapa hankkia pelejä. Asiasta kerrottiin Ubisoftin blogissa.
Hiljan kerrottiin siitä, että Yhdysvaltain Best Buy lopettaa fyysisen median myynnin vuonna 2024.
"There's a collector edition market. There's the aspect of gifting physical items and allowing access for people to be able to easily purchase a game in a store and gift them to their friends or family. Some people will always want to own the physical disk. I just don't think it's going away. Do I think physical sales might get lower over time? Sure, but will it ever completely go away? I don't think so."
