F1 Manager 2023 has already been out for PC and Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 4 & 5 since July 27th, but developer Frontier had also promised boxed versions of the game. These will be available shortly at retailers around the world.
No information has been given yet on the pricing, so it remains to be seen if there are any differences in cost between the digital and physical versions.

Collectors who want to fill their shelves with the boxes aside, there are still more than a few regions where internet connections are excrutiatingly slow. To circumvent this, disc-based copies can help, as it is possible to install them on both Xbox and PlayStation systems even when offline, dramatically reducing the potential install time attached to an online version of the same game. To stay up to date, however, large downloads may still be necessary, especially if patches include fixes for bugs or new features.

Why Physical Copies?
With fast and stable internet connections having become more and more common in recent years, physical copies of games have become a dying breed.
