So do Xbox or playstations Play actual disc games or are all these consoles using game pass? Do some systems allow for both?

Both xbox one and ps4 play real discs, but most games are available by digital download as well. PS4 does not have a good comparison to the xbox game pass. If you go for the next gen (which again, i recommend since they will be out very soon) the ps5 will have two versions, one that run discs and one that has no disc drive. The one without the disc drive is presumably cheaper. I can say for sure about the xbox but there is speculation they will be different versions of the Xbox next gen.

They allow for both but the Playstation 5 will have a disc less version. The Xbox will have a cheaper version as well that may or may not have a disc drive. Playstation does have a Gamepass like service but its not as good imo b/c it requires streaming for most games and the selection imo is not as good either. That may change. I would talk to your kid about the options and wait until the new systems prices and launched dates are settled.
One other thing to consider would be Xbox All Access. It like a buying phone contract where you get the system and the Gamepass service for a 2 year contract and options to upgrade after so many payments. You could get him a Xbox One X (dont bother with an S) which is still going to run games great for another year and then upgrade to a Series X or S. Here is a link to the service LINK
