Microsoft's Next-Gen Plans Cast Shadow Over PS6's Physical Game Support

Microsoft's stance on physical game releases has been called into question following Sony's decision to end support for them in January 2028. The move sparked public outcry, with many companies taking advantage of the controversy for advertising purposes.

According to John Linneman of Digital Foundry, a source claims that Microsoft had planned to continue supporting physical game releases into the next generation through Project Helix. This contradicts Sony's current plans and prioritizes backwards compatibility.

It is worth noting that this information has not been confirmed by Microsoft and is subject to change due to the ongoing 'big Reset' at Xbox.
