Sony repurposes its last PS disc factory as physical media fades
Sony is repurposing its sole PlayStation disc plant in Thalgau, Austria, retraining about 300 workers to produce optical microlenses as it winds down physical disc production for PS games; output is cut to roughly 10% of former levels (about 60,000 discs/year), with €30 million invested in the new tech, effectively ending worldwide PS disc manufacturing and coinciding with the end of PS3/PS Vita store support.
