    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Major console hardware makers seem to be inching toward removing ways to play discs at all: leaked Microsoft documents revealed a potential disc-less Xbox Series X (though the company says it isn’t completely giving up on the format), while the “slim” PS5 has a detachable disc drive that requires an internet connection to pair with a new console.

    It all started when he and the team at Mighty Rabbit Studios worked to make a physical version of the Vita title Breach & Clear in 2015.

    It’s in the process of producing physical versions of Persona 4 Golden and the Castlevania Advance Collection, just to name a couple of recent examples.

    The thing is, Limited Run has to find a way to convince publishers to get on board first, which is sometimes a hard argument when digital sales can be more profitable.

    When Limited Run signs a game for a physical release, the company works with the developer to figure out exactly what they’re looking for and how to feasibly make it, Fairhurst says.

    Fairhurst says, “There’s a very strong market for that.” (Newer hardware that can play older games from companies like Analogue and Hyperkin are probably helping with that.)
