Summary
Sony is moving forward with plans to reassign staff at its disc production plant in Thalgau, Austria, following its decision to end physical PS5 game production by January 2028. The factory currently produces 600,000 discs daily, with PS5 games making up half of that output. Hundreds of employees will be retrained as the company shifts to a digital-only model for PlayStation games, raising concerns about whether Sony will phase out physical discs sooner than announced.
