Sony has announced it will cease production of new PlayStation games on physical discs starting January 2028, as reported by YugaTech. The move signals a definitive transition to digital distribution for the PlayStation platform.
The decision will impact how gamers purchase and own titles, as physical discs have long been a staple of console gaming. Digital-only consoles like the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition have already paved the way for this change.
Industry analysts note that Sony's shift aligns with broader trends toward digital sales, which offer higher margins and reduce manufacturing costs. However, it may face pushback from collectors and regions with limited internet access.
