Bought MW2 Disk for PS5, can't play digital on PS4

Hi! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

This is a Microsoft Xbox Comunnity forum. I would advice you to go to PS support.

But if it works the same way as Xbox, then yes, a physical game copy does not give you a digital license and you will have yo buy the digital version if you want to play

Because as mentioned xbox one s does have a disk drive just not yours

Xbox one Xbox one s xbox one x xbox series x ps5 disk edition ps4 ps4 fat ps4 pro ps5 disk edition all have disk drive

Xbox one s digital and series s ps5 digital don't

usb disk drives DONT have security chips that consoles have

When you mean discounts then you mean the retailers are having clearance

Publishers rarely have sales on disk only

And retailers control prices at store not the publishers unless it is a publisher sale which case it would also apply to digital

Stores do this to clear shelfs of low selling games to clear shelf space for higher selling games even at a loss

Stores buy disks from a distributor that money already went to the publisher if the store has 20 copies of a game and they only sold 5 and a hot game comes out and they want to sell a hundred of them for profit they will take a small loss selling 15 for 20% less to make profit on the lesser selling game to makr room for the higher newer game

Digital marketplaces 30% goes to the digital store xbox epic steam etc

And the rest goes to the publisher

Really depends on your budget

If you can't afford 399 then don't but even now it's very hard to get a ps5

It is the same spec as the disk based ps5 just without the disk drive

You cannot run ps5 or series sx games on a mechanical or ssd hdd it either has to be a Xbox storage card or a m.2 gen 4x4 drive for ps5 with a heatsink

Ps5 does have more storage then series s

Though at 863gigs but usable is lower then that

Both series s and ps5 digital use compression to save space

To be quite honest if you can get a ps5 digital get it but they are still hard to come by but the series s is still decent and are more common

PS4 isn't digital. requiring install isn't that bad since it plays after it installs a few % BUT disk is still the only option, digital is over priced and you can't trade it in so never digital.

You cant just as with the ps5 digital you need to repurchase or buy the disk console
