Game developer promises to keep physical games
Published
Many gamers today prefer to buy games digitally, but not everyone is ready to let go of physical copies. Now, game studio Bloober Team reports that they wish to continue with physical releases as long as possible, despite a growing trend toward all-digital solutions.
The discussion about the future of physical games has accelerated following rumors that PlayStation is considering phasing out physical discs by 2028. Many players fear that they will lose the ability to own their games physically, which has led to debate in the gaming community worldwide.
Piotr Babieno, CEO of Bloober Team, is clear that his company wants to go against the grain. He believes that physical games still have an important place in the market and that they will prioritize this format moving forward to ensure that players have options.
It is currently unclear what the gaming industry will look like in a few years, as major players like Sony and Microsoft increasingly emphasize digital subscription services. For many Norwegian gamers who collect physical editions, the statement from Bloober Team is positive news in a time characterized by digitalization.
