Sony Ends PlayStation Game Discs
Sony will stop making PlayStation game discs. This starts in 2028. Players must then buy games online. Games out now will not change.
Sony says most people now buy digital games. In 2025, most game sales were digital. In 2013, very few sales were digital. Sony made a disc-free PlayStation in 2020. The next PlayStation may have no disc.
But many people are not happy. Poorer players often share or borrow games. They do this to save money. Shops and collectors worry. People ask if they really own a game. Sony has not said if players can keep their games.
