PlayStation ending production of physical software in January 2028

Sony will stop producing physical PlayStation game discs from January 2028, citing consumer preference for digital media. The decision applies to all new games releasing on PlayStation consoles after that date; existing and pre-January 2028 releases will continue in disc format. Sony said the shift aligns with how most players prefer to access games today. The move follows Take-Two's announcement that Grand Theft Auto VI physical editions will contain download codes instead of discs.
