Sony to End Physical Discs by 2028: Industry Divided, Community Calls for Boycott
Sony plans to discontinue physical PlayStation disc distribution by January 2028, shifting entirely to digital downloads. While industry experts view this as a natural consequence of changing consumer habits, developers like Sohei Niikawa criticize the move for stripping consoles of their tangible identity. In response, the 'DoesItPlay' community has called for an August boycott, a stance supported by figures such as Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser, who advocates for preserving physical media options.
