Xbox Holds Just 4% of US Physical Game Sales as Fans Hope Helix Keeps Discs - console|
| (hx) 09:43 PM CEST - Oct,18 2026 | Xbox accounted for only about 4% of new physical game sales in the United States so far in 2026, according to Circana data. Nintendo platforms took 63% and PlayStation took 32%.
A new Microsoft job listing for an Xbox Games Supply Strategist has sparked hope among some fans. The role involves coordinating the launch of physical Xbox games across all platforms and managing global supply strategies.
The listing does not specifically mention discs or the next-generation Helix console. Microsoft has not confirmed whether Helix will include a disc drive.
Sony previously said it will stop producing physical discs for new PlayStation games in January 2028. That has fueled speculation that Xbox could take a different path, though the job ad alone does not prove it.
