Sony has announced that from January 2028 it will entirely stop the production of physical discs for new PlayStation games. From that point onwards, new releases will only be available in digital versions from the PlayStation Store and other retailers. Games released before January 2028 will still be available on disc.
They cite "consumer preference" as the reason, but we all know what's going on. If there's no physical media, you don't really own your game. You're only renting it.
From the way this is worded I think future Playstation consoles will continue to have optical drives, at least as an option.
My guess, only for as long as they are backwards compatible with PS5 (or earlier) discs and that would be what? One future iteration at most?
I'm sure it's not at all suspicious or alarming that, at a time when governments are trying to force through increasing control and censorship over the media we consume, big companies are doing all they can to eliminate physical media and move us towards a system where everything we consume is something that a tiny handful of assholes in expensive offices can alter or take away with the click of a mouse
It's FINE
WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH EURASIA
