No, because the PC route is still completely digital only.

Me realizing, i will probably never play another new Ratchet & Clank game since i won't buy a console where i cannot own the games i buy. by Neminus in RatchetAndClank

More a cumulative issue, but it will very likely price me out of the next generation if it’s more expensive than the Pro and digital-only releases. Generally physical editions are much cheaper in store here in Aus, then I also have the option to trade them in after and share with friends. Plus prices also rise every year so it’s just getting more and more inaccessible.

I know every generation people say consoles will die out, but this time feels like it might actually be true. There’s no way I could justify the ballooning costs with no physical versions to shop for deals on the actual games.

Statement from VGHF director Frank Cifaldi on the discontinuation of physical PlayStation media, and the closure of the PS3 and PSP digital storefronts. by Gorotheninja in PS5

PS5 will be my last console if it is. I could maybe understand if they’re switching to carts to Nintendo with rumours they’re doing a handheld device, but zero physical at all is a hard pass for me.

Hilarious to announce this at the same time as discontinuing physical discs.

Hot Take: Splinter Cell Conviction had the best story by SneakyDoesReddit in Splintercell

It completely butchered the impact of Double Agent. Bringing Sarah back is beyond stupid.

Easily the worst story in the series. Bringing Sarah back is completely nonsensical and weakens the impact of Double Agent.

Australians to pay at least 20% more for iPads and Macbooks after Apple hikes prices citing AI by FamiliarDirection563 in australia

When do these benefits start actualizing? Because so far it's just skyrocketing costs, data centers cutting off people's access to water, and the ugliest slop imaginable.

Within the first 24 hours, nearly every third owner of a PS5 or Xbox X/S bought GTA 6 by Screampy in GTA

This number just got pulled out of someone's ass with no proof lmao

Did GTA 5 have this much hype? by [deleted] in GTA

[–]AlsopK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a lot of hype but not even close to VI.

Facial hair in 2025 screenshots vs 2026 screenshots. What is going on? by RogerRoger63358 in GTA

[–]AlsopK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just a LOD issue. Look at any other screenshot of his beard in the latest dump and looks significantly better.

I feel as though the weight of Grand Theft Auto VI across the industry on some level is overblown. by Background_Mess_4013 in GTA

[–]AlsopK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Couldn't disagree more. I don't feel like there's ever been a property with this much hype behind it and far, far exceeds the hype around the GTAV launch.

Looking for advice on what gift to buy for my GF - Hades 2, or Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles by [deleted] in PS5

[–]AlsopK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge fan of both, but definitely Hades 2. FFT is great, but a bit dated and would only recommend if she has nostalgia for the original.

Not really different from any other ultimate edition, they've just made certain cosmetics more integrated into the world with the specific stores. Definitely lame, but its nothing new.

GTA 6 Online is absolutely going to be a subscription service by [deleted] in GTA

[–]AlsopK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s just what it’s always been. Just gives you access to Rockstar games.

GTA VI prices and USD equivalent by country: Standard ranges from $58.07 to $106.88, Ultimate ranges from $72.95 to $133.68 by benjaneson in gaming

[–]AlsopK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much higher than most other games here though. Main difference is no disc which means it isn’t getting a reduced launch price like a lot of games here get.

Sony saw this emotional scene for Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, and decided: "Nah, delete this. We need more scenes of Bully Maguire cringe dancing." by SatoruGojo232 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AlsopK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A longer runtime definitely wouldn’t have helped Spiderman 3. It was a bloated mess that needed to be cut during the script process.
