End of an era: UK supermarket chain Tesco announces it will no longer sell physical copies of games

Tesco, a major supermarket chain in the UK, has announced that it will no longer sell physical copies

games in its 2,800 stores.

What is known

Now Tesco wants to sell all the remaining physical copies of the games and no longer have shelves for them. The exception will be vouchers for replenishing wallets in digital stores and currency in games.

Tesco explained that now the majorityGamers prefer digital games to disc games. As a reminder, GameStop closed all of its 35 stores in Ireland in May. The reason is similar to Tesco.

GamesIndustry also noted that in the UK, of the four major games in June – Diablo 4, Final Fantasy 16, Street Fighter 6 and F1 23 – less than 18% were sold on disc.

And if you remember that Remedy refused to releaseAlan Wake 2 on disc, and Xbox and PlayStation have released non-disc versions of their consoles, it's clear that one day the vast majority of games will be digital only.
