Xbox's Physical Games Departments Reportedly Affected By Microsoft Layoffs

[Kane99]

This is not good news for physical games, at least when it comes to Xbox consoles, as the recent layoffs at Microsoft may have resulted in some layoffs for Xbox's physical games departments. Which could mean that Xbox is phasing out physical games and focusing on digital. I mean, we've already seen multiple digital consoles, so it wouldn't be hard for them to make this change. Supposedly Microsoft has outright closed departments that are involved with making physical releases. There is also news of an all digital Series X console coming, so that could be another reason. 

I think we all know digital is the future we're headed in, no matter how much we are against it, I don't think we're going to be able to stop it from happening. 

Do you think this will result in my companies dropping their physical media departments?
