Do you buy your game physical or digital?
Pushsqure has postet an articel with the ratio of game bought pysical or digital this year. The ratio goes up for digital games. I'm still buy most of my games pysical, but what do you prefer.
I like that i'm able to resell, rent games and i have a bigger market for discouts in pysical games. I guess the biggest advantage if digital games it's how easy it is to obtain them and you don't have to stand up switching games. Not surprised that the games sold on the Switch have a much higher ratio of pysical games, there is just not enough memory on the system.
US
- PS5: 78% digital, 22% pysical
- XBS: 91% digital, 9% pysical (no gamepass included)
- NS: 53% digital, 47% pysical
EU
- PS5: 68% digital, 32% pysical
- XBS: 81% digital, 19% pysical
- NS: 35% digital, 65% pysical

I’d go all physical yet digital is usually cheaper as games go on sale more often. Unless I am after some fresh release, I don’t rush my purchase and wait for the digital game to go on sale.
There are a lot sales on physical games as well and they are usual cheaper. If i look at psn or e-shop sales and look for the same game physical. A lot of these are cheaper or already the same price on physical. Steam could be better here, but never compared that.
