The gaming industry is gradually transitioning towards a digital-only future, leaving behind any physical media. While gamers resist the change, physical media will eventually be left behind.

Contrary to what publishers may think, that physical media is outdated, gamers believe otherwise. The physical copies of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are now sold out across retail stores, which is a testament to this argument.

Why it matters: Physical games are the best answer to video game preservation and questionable ownership.

Released around a week ago, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has secured multiple records and has now achieved an impressive feat of selling out physical discs across retail stores.

While fans previously complained about the game discs running out in stores, the official social media account of the game has confirmed this matter and apologised for the inconvenience.

Moreover, they also stated that the actual demand for the physical game turned out to be higher than expected. Restock for the game is expected soon.

Sandfall Interactive’s expectations were far exceeded with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, with the title now being one of the highest-rated critic games of 2025. Additionally, the user rating for the game is also near-perfect.

Dev Praises Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 As A Groundbreaking JRPG

This entire achievement serves as a wake-up call to publishers who don’t see a future in physical media. Major gaming giants have already minimised their physical disc departments in preparation for an all-digital future.

Previously, another report suggested that the market for physical games is still thriving, and people prefer to buy single-player games in physical form.
