Another franchise going Xbox only or are they being cheeky?
Edit: Looks like it is just Microsoft being Microsoft. Xbox videos only show Xbox PC, studio specific show all.

I'm part of that 25%, it's just so convenient especially with preload
Went all digital this gen with the exception of Destiny(thankfully).
25% is a huge number and publishers would be wise capitalize on the market by giving greater incentives such as cheaper digital prices and early access incentives.
Digital Movies have taken to this strategy and it appears to be working, at least with early-access anyway.
Any title that I know I won't sell I'll buy digitally. If they hold back the reviews until after the game comes out but I still want it at launch I'll go physical.
I just can't get behind digital, literally everything about it outside of not having to swap a disc is more limiting with digital. Can't sell it, can't trade it, can't loan it, it's more expensive on console, the game become unavailable on console if the store/servers are shut down and after that if you get a corrupted HDD your stuff is gone, there's so little we know about how digital will be handled on the last gen consoles once those store are done, it's just a mess to me.
I feel like the more digital gets pushed on consoles the more the customer loses on their end, just far to many unknowns for my liking.
I'm not sure if going fully digital is a good thing at the moment. 1/4 of my next gen games are digital but that's only due to the convenience of pre-loading for the midnight launches. I much prefer hard copies for the sentimental value or for that rare case where I'd need to resell the game cos it's a humongous pile of shyte.
But yeh, like most things it has its pros and cons...down to personal preference tbh. Buying digital would be more of a thing if the games weren't the same price as hard copies without a doubt.
