## Key points

- GOG hopes to offer physical PC game editions.
- The service would include a digital copy and a disc.
- Storage, logistics and publisher approvals are major hurdles.

## Summary

GOG is exploring the possibility of bringing back physical PC game editions, giving customers the option to order a disc alongside the digital copy. The idea matters to players who value collecting games and keeping a copy they can store, while digital distribution has made PC discs uncommon.

GOG senior business manager Marcin Paczynski called the idea his “dream”, but said building the service would be “very, very complicated”. The company would need to arrange storage and delivery, as well as licensing and publisher approvals; GOG has not announced a launch or timetable. The article also cites Sony first-party games, for which physical copies account for 30 per cent of sales, as evidence that demand remains.
