Following the conclusion of Microsoft's big Xbox Games Showcase earlier this month, preorders for several of the biggest titles in the presentation — namely The Outer Worlds 2, Gears of War: Reloaded, and Ninja Gaiden 4 — went live across digital storefronts like Best Buy. In the wake of the show, though, many have noticed that none of the Xbox Series X|S listings for these games include physical copies even though PS5 ones do.
Indeed, buying nearly any Xbox version of these titles available will entail the retailer simply emailing you a code for the game, and while their Premium/Deluxe Editions do come with a physical case, there's not an actual disc within them. Instead, you're just given a code in the box you can redeem on Microsoft's digital Xbox marketplace.
