Summary · why it matters

Sony will stop producing physical discs for PlayStation console games starting in 2028, shifting entirely to digital purchases. The move reflects the dominance of digital game sales, which now account for over 80% of purchases. The decision raises concerns about long-term access to games, as digital libraries could be lost if accounts are deleted or servers go offline. The shift also impacts retailers like GameStop, which have already been struggling with the decline of physical game sales.
