In the console gaming world, physical media is becoming less and less relevant. That is especially true for Sony as they plan to cut support for discs by 2028. Considering these changes, the fact that Lords of the Fallen II is getting a physical release on discs is an interesting and very much of an exception to the norm. It's a big and solid confirmation that the physical media fans can actually get the physical release for one of the big titles, rather than relying solely on digital store fronts.
CI Games confirms physical discs for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
CI Games has officially announced that the upcoming Lords of the Fallen II game will be fully available on discs for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This is the statement from CI Games' President, Marek Tyminski, published on X, in which he directly responded to the current and on-going discussion regarding the future of physical game media. As a result, we are sure that the console players can look forward to getting a physical version of the game right when it's out.
Lords of the Fallen II will come on physical media for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It's very interesting to see them having it on two platforms, as it really means they will have it on the most popular current-gen gaming machines out there. It's also interesting to see them still looking to do business with the physical media market in retail, while the general trend in the industry is to go away from discs.
As we have been following the development of this game, including such articles as CI Games Secures 26.8 Million Euro to fund the development, the fact that they will also have the physical release for it gives it even more tangibility, in the sense that there is actually a specific format for collectors and gamers who still prefer their physical media. This is quite opposite to what we've been seeing lately with so many big game releases being only digital.
With the confirmation by CI Games President Marek Tyminski, we can be sure of the physical media release for the Lords of the Fallen II game. Players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will be able to get it on physical discs when the game launches. This is a good thing for the consumers to have this choice, especially now when we're mostly moving towards digital.
