Game discs will have full game. But wont have any updates the game may have after day 1

Even if it’s split into multiple discs like Baldur Gate 3?

[pseudo wren]

i see physicals as they all have the game dont matter if they split in individual disks. as long u get it in 1 package aka game case

[sterile rain]

Very true!

I wonder why Xbox has more discs sometimes than PlayStation, but if the game is still fully on the disc or discs than multiple then I am happy either way!

[pseudo wren]

Ok. The last time i used a disc game was probably 2018

I didnt even used my series x disc drive ever

[sterile rain]

No worries.

I saw it’s because Microsoft uses less space discs than Sony, but yeah the full game is on the discs just split up.

[pseudo wren]

But what said matters. Disc wont have any of the patches or updates to the game as well as dlcs unless the game case specifically said that they r included

[pseudo wren]

Guess depends how the devs optimized them on each platform before the game is shipped to be made into discs i guess

[sterile rain]

Gotcha.

[sterile rain]

Yeah that’s true.
