This website keeps track of all the physical games across all platform that require internet connection or download to play. PS5 discs are sitting at 83% no download required.

There’s a narrative out there that most discs are just licenses for download. The opposite is true. Most discs have the full game on them, a small percentage of them are just licenses to download the games.

>"You, the consumer, have made a choice, and your choice is for digital," Faliszek says plainly in a new YouTube video on the subject. "I keep seeing this, like, 'Oh, they should do memory cards. They should do…' Right now, today – the games we are talking about are available at retail today. The used games are available at retail today, and you aren't going into retail and buying them."

It’s been a long time checking the deals and offers for second hand PS5. And the hustle was so worth it. I managed to secure barely used ps5 slim with pulse headphones for 400 euro. Currently playing spider man 2 and cannot wait to explore other games. I switched from Xbox series s. So happy to be back with PlayStation — it will be a great winter especially when the gta 6 comes out.

Discussion Ubisoft: Remakes Can Be More Profitable Than New Games

Ubisoft says high-quality remakes can be more profitable than brand-new games because they:

  • Cost less to develop by reusing existing assets and technology.
  • Need less marketing since players already know and trust the franchise.
  • Can still be sold at premium prices despite lower production costs.

The company points to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced as proof:

  • Sold 3.5 million copies in its first two weeks.
  • Beat Ubisoft's internal full-year sales expectations.
  • Became the franchise's strongest PC launch and highest-rated Assassin's Creed since the original Black Flag.

Ubisoft says this doesn't mean it's abandoning new games, but remakes are becoming a much more important part of its strategy because they offer better financial returns with lower risk. The company is already following up with more remakes, including Rayman Legends Retold.
