RIP, PlayStation game discs: Sony is pressing eject on physical media

Sony announced it will stop producing physical game discs for new PlayStation titles starting in January 2028. This decision responds to industry and consumer shifts toward digital media. New games released after this date will be available exclusively as digital downloads through the PlayStation Store. However, existing disc-based games will remain functional on compatible hardware. The company confirmed this transition in a recent PlayStation Blog post, marking a significant move away from physical media formats.
