In recent years, the video game industry has seen a shift away from physical copies of games to digital downloads. This trend has been accelerated by the pandemic, with many people turning to digital gaming for entertainment while stuck at home. Now, Ubisoft executive Alain Corre has predicted that physical video game sales will decrease, but not disappear.

Corre, the executive director of Ubisoft’s EMEA region, believes that physical video game sales will continue to decline as digital downloads become more popular. He believes that the convenience of digital downloads will be a major factor in this shift, as well as the fact that digital games are often cheaper than physical copies. However, he also believes that physical video game sales will not disappear entirely.

Corre believes that physical copies of games will still be popular with certain groups of gamers, such as collectors and those who prefer to own a physical copy of a game. He also believes that physical copies of games will remain popular in certain markets, such as those in developing countries where digital downloads may not be as accessible.

Corre’s prediction is in line with other industry experts who have predicted that physical video game sales will continue to decline in the coming years. However, Corre’s prediction that physical video game sales will not disappear entirely is an interesting one. It suggests that physical copies of games may still have a place in the industry, even as digital downloads become more popular.

It remains to be seen if Corre’s prediction will come true, but it is clear that the video game industry is shifting towards digital downloads. This shift has been accelerated by the pandemic, and it is likely that it will continue even after the pandemic is over. It will be interesting to see how physical video game sales are affected by this shift in the coming years.
