Walmart's Potential Shift Away from Physical Games Sparks Speculation

Walmart is rumored to be discontinuing the sale of physical Xbox games in the new year, according to claims made by Limited Run Games CEO, Josh Fairhurst. This follows Best Buy's decision to phase out physical media sales. As the gaming industry increasingly shifts towards digital gaming and cloud streaming services, physical media is becoming less popular. Fairhurst predicts that Walmart and potentially other retailers will make further cuts to physical gaming sections in 2024.
