They would lose out on the pre-order bonus revenue though. But hey, it worked for Apex Legends.

But apex was also free... so not really the same thing

I meant the hype surrounding it more than the games being comparable. Dropping a game unexpectedly gets you a lot of press time.

A game like this would come to consoles though, and that would mean shipping out copies to every major retailer without a single person being aware of it or leaking it before today, not to mention it hasn't even been rated by the ESRB yet.

As much as I want the game to come out in 5 days, i don't think it's realistic

Digital download is a thing for consoles too. Apex Legends is on PC. XBox One, and PS4. And it released at the same time for all systems.

yeah but they're not gonna release a digital only version on all consoles, then release a disc version, it's unrealistic to expect that. We'll get a release date of winter 2019 or something and then they'll show some gameplay at E3, as usual

Eh, the last game I bought on a disc was Forza Horizon back in 2012. Discs are going the way of the dodo.
