After PS5 Disc Controversy, Microsoft Confirms Halo: Campaign Evolved Will Come On A Disc

This article was originally published on link to post

Following Sony’s announcement that it will no longer support physical game discs starting in 2028, Microsoft has confirmed that Halo: Campaign Evolved’s physical editions will include discs, including on PS5. Microsoft’s announcement likely doesn’t have anything to do with Sony’s, however.

In a Q&A, Microsoft said people who buy a copy of the game will get a physical game case and disc “so that you have tangible items to add to your collection.” This applies to the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S editions of the game.

The timing of Microsoft’s announcement about Campaign Evolved coming on a disc is conspicuous given it happened just after Sony confirmed its all-digital plans. But Microsoft no doubt had been planning to release Campaign Evolved on a disc for a very long time now given the logistics involved.

Sony’s announcement that PlayStation will no longer support game discs starting in January 2028 might make business sense for the company, but it’s also causing much consternation. While Sony’s own data shows an increasing share of digital game sales, the company still sells many millions of physical, disc-based games every year.
