In case it was ever in doubt, it seems Sony is not backing down from its controversial decision to stop manufacturing physical disc-based games. It appears a notice is being shipped with new PS5 consoles that have disc drives to warn users that, as announced, PlayStation will cease to support physical media at the beginning of 2028. "Important notice: from January 2028, newly released games on PlayStation will be available for purchase on PS Store and at retailers in digital format only," reads the notice. "Discs for games released before January 2028 can continue to be played on this console." The move to end physical media has proved unpopular.
