game discs

Sony plans to cease the production of game discs by 2028, prompting concerns among PlayStation fans about reliance on digital platforms and the ability to trade in games. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot expressed optimism, suggesting that the shift could grow the market, similar to the impact of Steam on PC gaming. He noted that a fully digital approach could lead to more accessible machines, although the implications for pricing and costs remain uncertain. The transition to digital in PC gaming occurred organically, unlike the controlled environment of consoles like PlayStation, which may limit consumer outcomes in a digital future.
