Sony on Wednesday announced that PlayStation will end physical disc production for games on its consoles from January 2028.
In a statement on PlayStation’s blog, the gaming giant said the decision was taken “as consumer preferences and the broader entertainment industry continue to shift away from physical discs to digital formats”.
“Following this date, new games will be available on the PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only. This transition has no impact on games that have already been released, or will be released prior to January 2028 in disc format,” the statement added.
Sony noted that the move was “a natural direction” to adapt to consumer trends, where demand for digital media has surpassed physical discs.
