Xbox said it will unveil a major update next week as rumors about a disc-to-digital service for its next console persist. The console market is shifting toward digital distribution, and a feature that lets owners convert physical game libraries to digital versions could ease that transition. Xbox program lead Brad Rossetti posted a message to Xbox Insiders saying the current console testing period was paused while preparations continue for next week, adding that the wait will be worthwhile. A YouTube video linked in the post was posted without further comment. Jez Corden, a Windows Central editor who has reported on the feature, tweeted that the upcoming reveal could be the first look at the disc-to-digital program, which some have referred to as the codename 'positron.' Reports also suggest the service may integrate with Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing users to switch between physical and digital copies. Meanwhile, Sony announced it will cease manufacturing PlayStation discs in 2028, a move analysts say could lead to a disc‑less PS6. The announcement generated criticism on social media, and Sony did not respond to messages on its platforms for several days. Microsoft has not confirmed whether the upcoming feature will be tied to the next console, and the broader impact on consumers and the industry remains undetermined.
