Sony's rumoured £1,000 all-digital PlayStation 6 has ignited debate across the gaming industry in July 2026, with analysts and fans questioning whether the PS6 price tag, rather than its lack of disc support, could ultimately determine the console's fate when it launches in the coming years.
The backlash began earlier this month when Sony signalled a broader shift away from physical media, with plans pointing towards a fully digital ecosystem by the next console generation.
