Follow me on social media: Instagram: http://instagram.com/dreamcastguy Patreon: patreon.com/DreamcastGuy Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/thedreamcastguy Sony announced they're done with physical games starting in 2028. There's a pretty good chance I won't be getting the PS6 at this point #PlayStation6 #PS6 #ps5 The complete disregard and disrespect for the fans who care deeply about physical PS games might be the biggest slap to the face I've see from this company. Absolute joke. As consumer preferences and the broader entertainment industry continue to shift away from physical discs to digital, physical game disc production for all new games releasing on PlayStation consoles will be discontinued starting January 2028. Following this date, new games will be available on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only. This transition has no impact on games that already released, or will be releasing, prior to January 2028 in disc format. This is a natural direction for Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs. This transition will enable us to align more closely with how most of our community prefers to access and play games today. After nearly two decades of supporting the PS3 console generation, we wanted to let you know we will be closing the PlayStation Store on PS3, as well as on PS Vita. PlayStation Store on PS3 will close in select markets starting this year, followed by global closures for PS3 and PS Vita next year. That means new content purchases will no longer be possible once the PlayStation Store closes on these devices. To ease the transition, players will still be able to download previously purchased content after the closing date for the foreseeable future. As the PlayStation Store continues to evolve to support modern commerce systems, including updated payment processing standards, PS3 and PS Vita are no longer able to support these updates at the level required. As a result, we will need to close PlayStation Store on these devices in the timeframes as follows: We’ll continue to prioritize our resources to drive innovation in how players can access games and provide choices as to where players prefer to purchase new games, whether that’s at retailers or PlayStation Store. We remain committed to delivering a world-class gaming experience to our fans and we thank you for your continued support.

Oh well. Not getting a PS6 then. Enjoy my $0.00, Sony.
Let the current state of the gaming industry burn. 🔥🔥🔥
This is where Sony and I part ways. It's been real. ✌️
Congrats Sony , I will never buy a ps6 or any digital only game !!
Games too expensive, comsoles too expensive, no physical games, every studio shutting down...so indie and retro 😎
Good luck trying to convince us to move to the PS6, this is truly despicable news.
This pisses me off
Grand theft auto 6 last week was the final nail in the coffin for gaming
You will own nothing and you'll be super duper happy. Yaaaaaaay. Don't ask questions, just consume product and get excited for next product.
This is a sad day
This means no physical backwards compatability for the PS6. I'm no longer interested in collecting for gaming. I'm out
We can’t even have one day in gaming with good news 🤮
I will not buy a game unless I can get it on a disc.
Yeah my ps5 will be my last console. 😭
The ultimate Sony L
Never buying another PlayStation ever again.
I'm 100% done with Playstation. Goodbye. Absolutely insane decision to eliminate this worldwide.
Announcing this right after removing a tonne of movies from people's digital libraries. More and more games will start becoming lost media.
Been a console gamer 35 years. Have bought used and new games, sold and collected in that time. I will leave consoles the day they kill off physical. I will play the occasional game on PC and emulate otherwise.
Lucky me I have a backlog of physical games I'll never beat all of them.
