Best Buy will reportedly stop selling games and movies altogether in early 2024.

A surprising new report claims that Best Buy will cease selling all physical media in the near future, including video games and Blu-Rays. According to multiple sources for The Digital Bits, physical media sales could cease from the retailer as soon as Q1 2024. While this isn't all that surprising on the retail side of things, it will apparently apply to online sales, as well.

Companies like Limited Run Games and Super Rare Games have fought against the rising tide of digital media, offering limited print physical releases for games that wouldn't otherwise receive them. Those companies have found success with gamers, and some releases tend to command a lot of money on the secondary market. Companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have an incentive to move away from physical media, but a lot of gamers have reason not to embrace an all-digital future.
