Sony Sends Developers Survey on Disc Phaseout, Hinting at Potential Reversal
Sony is reportedly surveying game developers about its plan to end physical disc production for PlayStation consoles in January 2028. Leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead claims the survey asks for feedback on the digital-only strategy, suggesting Sony may be reconsidering its stance amid consumer backlash. While Sony had already retooled factories away from disc manufacturing, the move indicates a potential softening of its position. The controversy stems from fan petitions and boycotts, though some industry figures previously supported the shift to digital. Physical sales remain significant for some titles, complicating the transition.
