Sony announced that beginning in January 2028, it will stop producing physical discs for all new PlayStation games, transitioning to digital sales through the PlayStation Store and select retailers. This change is driven by a notable shift in consumer behavior, as demand for digital games has outpaced that for physical discs.
The company emphasized that this move aligns with the preferences of its gaming community, allowing for a more streamlined access to games. Importantly, this decision will not affect any disc-based games released before the 2028 deadline.
As the gaming industry continues to evolve towards digital formats, this shift may influence other companies in the sector to reconsider their distribution strategies
