Kojima Warns: A Future Without Physical PlayStation Discs Isn’t Worth Saving
Hideo Kojima reacted to Sony’s plan to phase out PlayStation game discs by 2028, saying he’s saddened by a shift away from physical media. He argues that while games are downloaded and stay on your hardware, a move to streaming would mean you don’t truly own the data, since servers control access. The interview has amplified broader fears about digital ownership as console makers weigh all-digital futures, with questions also hanging over PS6 features and how competitors are handling physical media.
