Sony to end PlayStation discs by 2028 as stores go digital-only
Sony announced it will stop producing physical PlayStation game discs starting January 2028 and will wind down the PS3 and PS Vita stores by 2027, shifting to a digital-only licensing model. While digital purchases offer convenience and space savings, they do not grant ownership and may not guarantee lifelong access to titles, prompting concerns about the permanence of digital libraries and the potential loss of previously purchased content.
