Sony Limits PS5 Disc Drive Sales to One Per Order Amid High Demand and Physical Game Phase-Out
By
Push Square
Summary
Sony is limiting sales of the PS5's optional disc drive accessory to one per person on its PS Direct store due to high demand. The article highlights the irony of this move coming in the same week Sony signaled the end of physical game disc manufacturing (ceasing production in January 2028). The author suggests scalpers may be targeting the accessory, and while Sony's quick reaction is positive, the timing underscores the broader shift away from physical media.
