Summary

Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced it will end production of physical game discs for PlayStation in January 2028, marking a major shift toward digital-only gaming. The article expresses concern about this move, noting that physical media gives consumers true ownership, while digital games can be revoked by corporations due to shifting rights, tax write-offs, or other reasons. The announcement was made via a blog post by Sony's Sid Shuman.
