Minecraft, the sandbox game from Mojang Studios, is one of the most popular titles and has a massive player base across the globe. The game is popular all over the world but is possibly more loved in Japan than anywhere else.
The physical releases have been relatively less than they were a few years ago, all thanks to the emergence of cloud gaming and digital options. It also seemed to have affected the physical releases in Japan, except for Minecraft.
Minecraft Is the Only Physical Game Available in Japan for Xbox
Yodobashi Camera Akihabara, commonly known as Akiba is a haven for gamers and video game enthusiasts where they can buy video games. But according to one user on X/Twitter, Xbox section at the store is almost empty.
As per the user, the company has moved away from physical releases in the region. Minecraft Legends is the only physical game available on sale at Yodobashi Camera Akihabara.
