Xbox Helix could have discs as the company is looking for an expert to ‘coordinate the launch of physical Xbox games’

Microsoft’s search for a strategist to coordinate physical Xbox game releases suggests it plans to keep supporting physical editions. The role raises the possibility that disc games could continue on Project Helix, but the listing does not say which hardware generations it covers.

The job description refers to launching physical Xbox games across platforms and managing their global supply. Sony plans to phase out discs from 2028, while reports that Project Helix would lack disc support remain unconfirmed. Microsoft has also introduced technology for making digital copies of physical games, pointing to a possible effort to support both formats.
