Ex-PS Boss Sees Disc-Free Future, Warns Used Market Could Shrink by 2028
Former PlayStation chief Shuhei Yoshida says he’s fully digital and supports a disc-free future by 2028, though he didn’t realize Sony planned to sunset discs. He notes that updates and DLC largely drive game data even on physical discs, but acknowledges the lack of physical media could hurt the used-game market; Sony plans to counter price pressures with promotions as discs fade, while concerns persist about game delisting and preservation.
