PlayStation games are going fully digital in 2028. That's not just concerning for physical media fans - it's offensive to players everywhere. With rising hardware prices due to AI and RAM shortages, delisted games, and future game consoles being prohibitively expensive, we're not thrilled with the idea of a PS6 being digital only and having to leave our old physical games behind. We're long beyond the days of the PS4 and the "How to share your games" video, produced in response to the control Xbox was exerting at the time. This new stance from Sony , seems to imply that it won't just be the PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro that will suffer, but this could be the new normal for the PS6. How do you feel about a media-free future, and do you still plan on expanding your physical game collection going forward? Let us know!

You know you messed up when you get people agreeing with ign
Thanks IGN, it is crucial for influential platforms to call out these anti-consumer decisions
Thank you IGN, to post this important video!
no disc, no PS6
Changing the law to own digital games and other media should be the next step.
I won’t buy a console without a disc drive
“Play has limits”💔
Even IGN is calling out Sonys bullshit
IGN I just fell in love with you for fighting for gaming
Playstation made such a horribly wrong move... that it made me agree with an IGN video
thanks ign
I've stuck with Playstation since PS1. This is where I draw the line. I'm out.
Sony can keep their $1000+ discless PS6.
Now old games and consoles will be worth more.
Ya know what IGN, I won’t give you anymore shit. Thanks for calling this horseshit out
There will always be a niche market for physical media, I don’t understand why Sony would want to pull out of it entirely.
No disk no money. That's the name of the game
I’ve been with PlayStation since the PS1, if PlayStation don’t backtrack, I am done with them and I am not buying a PS6. I prefer to own what I pay for, not have it delisted from digital and pay to rent a game. I just cancelled my PS+ in protest of this and I am a big gamer, as well as a first gen FGC, this hurts and I voted with my purse.
Thanks IGN, it is crucial for influential platforms to call out these anti-consumer decisions ......
If we can bully them into keeping the PS3 and Vita store to stay open for an extra 6 years. We can definitely bully them to keep making discs.
