Sony to continue physical disc production for PS games released before 2028

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Sony has clarified its policy on physical game discs, stating that production will continue for titles released before January 2028. While games launching after this date will be digital-only, publishers can still re-order physical copies of pre-2028 releases. This decision comes as Sony reportedly invests in repurposing its disc manufacturing facilities for other optical products, though details on the future ordering process and the availability of digital codes for new retail releases remain undisclosed.
