Sony will stop producing physical PlayStation 5 game discs, ending the era of physical game ownership.

Golden Finance reported that on July 6, Sony Group announced it would stop producing physical discs for the PlayStation 5, meaning that after January 2028, all newly released games will only be available for purchase through digital channels. This decision has sparked strong opposition from players and game developers, who are generally concerned about a complete loss of ownership and autonomous control over digital content. Outsiders believe Sony’s move is aimed at increasing profit margins by eliminating costs related to physical distribution and inventory, but it has also raised concerns within the industry about the disappearance of market competition and the complete demise of the second-hand game market.
