## Resource

Sony’s ditching physical game discs for new PlayStation titles starting in 2028, pushing all new games to digital-only downloads. The move targets shifting consumer habits, as digital sales now dominate — 78% of Sony’s revenue last year came from digital. But it’s also about cutting costs and tightening control over revenue. Older PlayStation stores for PS3 and PS Vita will shut down globally by 2027, citing outdated payment systems. Gamers are furious — worried about ownership, preservation, and even boycotting PlayStation altogether. While digital wins, 70 million physical games were still sold last year, and Nintendo proves there’s still a loyal physical audience. The era of game boxes on your shelf may be ending — fast.
