Sony to end physical game discs by January 2028, igniting a wave of digital-only memes

Sony will stop producing physical PlayStation game discs by January 2028, pushing new releases to digital-only on its store. The move follows Rockstar’s GTA VI no-disc format and the removal of hundreds of PSN movies without refunds, drawing backlash from preservationists, players, and politicians and spurring a flood of parody memes from brands like Domino’s, KFC, G-Fuel, and others that mock the shift to digital ownership and its implications for consumer rights and game preservation.
