A petition urging Sony to continue producing physical game discs for PlayStation has garnered nearly 200,000 signatures. The campaign, initiated by Jade Pearce of PNP Games, protests Sony's announced decision to cease new disc production by January 2028, arguing that digital-only games represent a revocable license rather than owned property. While Sony plans to continue producing discs for existing titles, the shift to digital-only for new releases is also impacting jobs and the used game market. Sony DADC, a major disc producer for PlayStation, is already retooling its Austrian plant to focus on optical microlenses for other technologies, with a significant reduction in disc output expected by 2028.
