Sony will stop producing physical discs for all new PlayStation games beginning in 2028, as the company embraces an all-digital future.

Investing.com -- Sony Interactive Entertainment dealt the physical gaming market a landmark blow on Wednesday, announcing that disc production for all new PlayStation games will cease in January 2028, a watershed moment for console gaming. The company's own data shows that nearly four in five full-game purchases on PS4 and PS5 were made digitally over the past year, providing the commercial rationale for a policy that applies to every publisher, not just Sony's first-party titles.

Sony said on Wednesday it will stop producing physical discs for all new games ‌released on PlayStation consoles from January 2028, marking a ‌full shift to digital distribution as consumer purchases continue to move online. Digital ​downloads accounted for about 80% of Sony's full-game software sales in fiscal 2025, according to the company, reflecting a years-long shift toward digital game purchases. The Japanese entertainment and technology company ‌said new PlayStation titles ⁠released from January 2028 will be sold through the PlayStation Store and by retailers in ⁠digital formats only.
