Square Enix: A Generation of Gamers Pick Digital First

27th August, 0 replies

Square Enix's western CEO, Phil Rogers, has said there is a new generation of gamers that are purchasing games digitally over physical copies.

"There are different audiences for boxed and digital, and certainly for the generation of gamers today, digital is the first option," said Rogers. "It is instant, it is secure, and safe, and stored, and it is a way they can get games faster. There is a generation of gamers coming through where digital is the first choice and boxed is a nice complement to that."

He went on to discuss how Hitman will be released first as a digital title on December 8th before being released at retail in 2016 once the game is actually complete:

"Boxed games are a really important part, retail is an important part, of the whole Hitman experience. So we feel that at some stage people will want to buy it in a physical form, when it is all completed and packaged up in that sort of way. Those are the sort of things we feel strongly about, and we will talk about that towards the end of the year. How digital and boxed work in harmony is going to be really important, not just for us and Hitman but for the industry as well."
