As we’re heading into the age of digital only downloads and more people start to scavenge for physical media, I was wondering if there is a list out there that catalogues if the game doesn’t need any downloads, patches or internet connection. I assume starting during the ps4 era it became more common place to only have partial data on physical media. I’d love to know what will be worth collecting/searching for in the future and what will potentially just serve as a frisbee.

As you can see on doesitplay.org even a lot of PS5 games can be played from disc without major issues, Sony was the last to offer such a great product for players, so sad about the recent announcement...

I was honestly quite shocked by how many dics are listed to work straight from the disc.

I would say they owe you a handjob.

Thank you, this is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking about!
