Sony has announced it will stop releasing new PlayStation games on physical disc from 2028, as the company accelerates its move toward digital-only distribution.
All new PlayStation titles will be available exclusively in digital format from that point, Sony said, pointing to growing consumer appetite for online purchases. Around 80% of PlayStation 5 games are currently bought digitally, the company noted, framing the move as a response to existing demand rather than a push against it.
Sony also announced it will shut down the download stores for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita by mid-next year. Once closed, users will no longer be able to purchase digital games for either device.
