Locking some content behind a digital download is also potentially one way to prevent players from accessing leaked copies of the game early. But as the new-gen console push for 4K graphics increases file sizes, that might not be a practical solution either, at least for companies looking to cut manufacturing costs wherever possible. ![]() ![]() Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 both have those, letting players access the 1.00 versions of the game with the discs alone.
