A PC gamer has created a homemade physical format for Steam games by putting installed titles on SSD cartridges, as console makers such as PlayStation move further towards digital-only distribution. The project reflects continuing concern among players about ownership, preservation and the lack of tangible media in an increasingly download-based games market.

The cartridges appear to function as portable SSDs containing Steam game installations, allowing games to be stored and moved in a more physical, collectable form while still relying on Steam’s software ecosystem. It is a personal experiment rather than an official product, but it highlights the contrast between digital convenience and players’ desire for physical game libraries.
