Sony Will Move Forward With Its Plans To Stop Making PS5 Discs Despite Backlash

Sony reaffirmed at its latest earnings call that it plans to stop producing discs for new PS5 games starting in 2028.

The company said it would keep making discs for titles released before the cutoff, citing the broader shift toward digital distribution.

Sony acknowledged strong consumer backlash but said it will proceed cautiously while exploring ways to engage players in a more digital ecosystem.

The move underscores the industry’s push toward an all-digital future and raises concerns about preservation, ownership, and physical media access.
