The digital copy gains Xbox Play Anywhere and Cloud Gaming support where available, and the physical disc still works as before, though only one revocable digital license can be generated per disc. Thousands of titles are supported at launch, with more to be added over time, though it's unclear how third-party publishers and retailers factor in. The move follows Microsoft's recent 3,200 job cuts and studio divestments, and comes after Sony announced it will discontinue physical PS disc production for new games from January 2028. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
