NISA CEO in Talks With Sony Over Physical Game Discs

kotaku.com —

Nippon Ichi Software CEO Kenzo Saruhashi said he is in discussions with Sony about its plan to stop manufacturing physical game discs in 2028, expressing hope for a compromise that supports his company's limited-edition releases. Saruhashi, speaking at PAX West, said NIS America intends to continue producing physical editions and acknowledged a "code in the box" format is possible, but noted Sony is hearing customer feedback and the discussion may change. Sony has reportedly sent surveys to developers about physical game sales, suggesting it might soften its stance, though a full reversal is unlikely and the disc discontinuation remains scheduled for late next year.
