Sony will stop releasing physical PlayStation games on disc starting January 1, 2028. This change means new PlayStation 5 titles will be exclusively digital, available through the PlayStation Store or via download codes. The company cites the increasing trend of digital purchases as the reason for this shift. This decision impacts collectors and follows Rockstar's announcement that Grand Theft Auto 6 will also be digital-only, with physical editions containing download codes.
