Sony to end physical PS5 game releases by January 2028, going fully digital
By
Nintendo Life
Summary
Sony has announced it will completely abandon physical media for PS5 (and likely PS6) games starting January 2028, moving to digital-only releases. GTA 6 was the first major title to adopt this model. The article frames this as a controversial but increasingly inevitable shift in the gaming industry, suggesting that Sony's game-key cards (digital codes in boxes) may now seem more palatable as a compromise compared to a fully digital future.

· 3 pulledSony has announced that it is completely ditching physical media for the PS5 – and presumably PS6 – from January 2028.
As a response to 'shifting trends', this move applies to all new games released for the PS5, with digital-only options available via the PlayStation Store and retailers.
GTA 6 was the first game to adopt a digital-only release after pre-orders opened last month, and while this seemed a pretty radical decision at the time, it now makes much more sense.
