## Resource

PlayStation just announced that physical disc production for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles will end starting January 2028. Sony says new games after that point will be available through PlayStation Store and retailers in digital formats only, while games already released or planned before January 2028 in disc format are not impacted.Sony also announced major PlayStation Store changes for PS3 and PS Vita, with PS3 store closures beginning in select markets this year and global PS3 and PS Vita closures planned for July 2027. Previously purchased content will still be downloadable “for the foreseeable future.”So today we’re talking about what PlayStation actually announced, what it means for collectors, preservation, ownership, retailers, and the future of console gaming.
