A Philosophical Discussion of Worms

PlayStation will stop making physical discs for PS5 and PS4 starting in 2028, implying that PlayStation 6 will be a digital-only console.

Rockstar has come under fire for releasing the physical version of GTA 6 with a download code only, with some saying the decision is the final nail in the coffin for video game discs.

PS5 seemingly warns fans about disc production termination by putting a label on disc-based editions of the console.

Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida has commented on Sony's recent announcement that it will end support for physical game discs in 2028. Speaking to Gamerbraves, Yoshida said he "didn't know they were planning that." He said he feels for people who want game discs, but he believes it’s not “such a big issue” for many people because they already need to download patches, DLC, and updates. "Even with physical disc games, in most cases, developers are constantly updating and adding game data anyway. Anyone who chooses to purchase a physical version will still need to download new patches

After announcing that it's killing physical disc releases on its platform, Sony's X account hasn't posted anything.
