Physical video games will also have pre-sale like digital ones

Ranges

As you well know, we live in an age in which digital video games are growing exponentially, especially in those titles that we do not usually buy out of the box. This is all due to the fact that despite the fact that in dates close to the launch the price is more or less the same, however, the digital video game has benefits such as being able to download it in advance and play from 00:01 on the launch day , the impossibility of losing or breaking it, as well as the succulent discounts to which we opt after a few months. Nevertheless, video game stores want to revolutionize the physical market by offering physical copies in pre-sale that we can collect days before launch day.

The first intention is to be able to avoid long lines and the heavy costs of delivering video games to users on the same day of launch. And is that if they allow users to take home the physical game several days before the official launch, they could save much of the chaos and cost it causes. In this way, the game would include a part just like digital video games that would not allow the game to start until a specific date, which will be set on the same night of the launch day. The truth is that it is an idea that we do not understand how it has not occurred to them before, but of course, it is not until they see the ears of the wolf of digital sales that they think to improve the way in which the user enjoys content.

In short, this initiative arises from the Electronics Retailers Association in the United States of America, and it is still nothing more than a proposition that if it became real it could revolutionize the market in an intense way, since many users acquire the digital copy just to be able to play the night before.
