The news came after Sony announced on 1 July that it would stop manufacturing physical game discs for new first-party PlayStation titles from January 2028, marking one of the biggest shifts in the platform's history. The company said the move reflects the industry's continued transition towards digital game distribution and changing consumer behaviour.
In its announcement, Sony described the decision as a 'natural direction' for the PlayStation business, arguing that most players now purchase and access games digitally rather than through physical media.
