Sony's Digital Drive Gains Ground as PS5 Digital Sales Surpass Physical
Sony reports 82% of PS5 games, microtransactions, and DLC sold digitally in Q1 2026 (April–June), up from 78% in 2025, underscoring its shift toward an all-digital future amid fan calls to preserve physical games; CFO Lin Tao says there will be no U-turn, with 2028 set as the end for physical sales of third‑party PS5 games, while first‑party digital profits rise as PS5 nears 100 million lifetime sales and profits improve on tariff refunds and favorable exchange rates.
