Indeed, gamers are planning a week-long boycott of PlayStation next month in protest.<\/p>\n<p>While Microsoft has yet to make any announcement about video game disc production for Xbox, it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/xboxs-new-console-project-helix-will-reportedly-not-have-a-disc-drive-microsoft-exploring-ways-to-digitize-physical-games\">reportedly set to release the next-gen Xbox without a disc drive<\/a>, suggesting a similar long-term plan for its gaming business. &#8220;You may have problems playing disc-based games right now,&#8221; Microsoft&#8217;s Xbox support website reads.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/support.xbox.com\/en-US\/xbox-live-status\">Xbox support page<\/a> currently lists a resolution for the current issues as \u201cpending.\u201d Hopefully they will be resolved soon.
