Sony Ditches Physical PS Games: The End of Discs? - briefly
(hx) 12:40 AM CEST - Jul,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Sony is ending physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting January 2028. New titles will be available only as digital downloads or retailer codes.

This follows the trend where 85% of PS5 and PS4 full-game sales are already digital. Movies on Blu-ray, vinyl records, and printed books remain widely available, raising questions why video games are going all-digital first.

Many gamers worry about ownership, resale, and what happens if servers shut down.

It's worth mentioning because it could reshape how future generations access and preserve games.

It makes no sense why they are killing off game discs.
Digital movies didnt kill DVD and bluray.
Digital music didnt kill off CDs

$ony still print both music and movies so why not games?

See, makes no sense why they would do that.
They are killing their own product.
MANY peiople wont buy a console without a disc drive.
So if the PS6 is digital only it wont be brought by many.

And no you CANT use the bullshit "pc doesnt have a drive" as thats bullshit. You can use thousands of USB disc drives. I have 3 USB dvd and even bluray writers. I even have 2 writers in my PC and 2 external writers.
So they are still getting sold and used and you can use any usb disc drive in your PC and it'll work fine.

micro$oft tried the xbox ones S without a dirve and they still released the Xbox Series X with a disc drive.
Yea, they also have the lower powered cheaper xbox series S but who wants that? Its got no disc drive in it.
