Sony has made a subtle change to the packaging of the PS5 console, which has already upset some gamers who realized what it indicates. Despite the backlash, the company has confirmed it will stick to its decision to stop producing physical game discs. The notice states: “IMPORTANT NOTICE: Starting in January 2028, new PlayStation game releases will be sold exclusively through the PlayStation Store and select retailers in digital format. As expected and highlighted in the tweet above, Sony has been planning this shift for several years, largely due to decreasing physical sales. It’s clear that the numbers aren’t favoring discs, with all major publishers confirming that most of their game sales are now digital.
