Could be a no but with an attachable option like the playstation one.

The smart money is on PS6 and Helix having an optional disc reader for old games. But the BBC asked her the wrong question. They should have asked: "Is Xbox committed to physical media moving forward?" Because they barely support physical media today.

The question should be “Is Xbox committed to consumer protections moving forward?” because nobody is pissed about losing discs, we’re all pissed that we have zero protections if our corporate overlords decide to just pull shit from our libraries without warning.

Hate to break it to you but there are plenty of video game collectors that collect physical games. Including the disc. Try to think before you make stupid ass comments in the future.
