If only it were that simple. A physical DVD simply reduces the download time. It typically still copies onto the console HD (the DVD being used as an annoying proof of ownership.), and still depends on online services.
- trentnix 4y agoDoes it? I had an 80+ GB practically-day-one-download waiting when I bought Forza Horizon 5 for my XBox. The disc might as well have been a blank.
- scoot 4y agoWhich is why I said typically. It's still an annoying dongle though.
- klyrs 4y agoDVDs can hold up to 8.5GB of DRM client software.
- maccard 4y agoPS5 uses BDXL discs which support 100GB each. Xbox allegedly does too. Games have also shipped on multiple discs for a long time.
- klyrs 4y agoSorry, 100GB of DRM client, then...
- maccard 4y agoPer disc. As I said in my comment games also often ship with multiple discs.
- klyrs 4y agoSorry, I'm being a bit cynical here -- I'm suggesting that the DVDs contain nothing but extremely bloated crapware to download and decode the game that should rightfully be yours. Of course, I've got some morbid curiosity about what's actually on those disks, but not enough to actually look. My deepest condolences.
