Games that were already released on disc before that date won’t be affected, and publishers will still be able to reorder existing titles. New PlayStation releases after the cutoff, though, are expected to shift toward boxed download codes.
If you still buy PlayStation games on disc, pay attention to this. It adds to the sense that 2028 could line up with the PlayStation 6, and that we’re heading toward a future where a disc drive isn’t standard anymore. It also brings back the usual digital-only worries: ownership, delistings, preservation, fewer second-hand and retail discount options, and the need for fast broadband.
Sony Interactive Entertainment is also shutting down the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita digital stores worldwide by July 2027, so if there are physical PlayStation games you want to hold onto long term, it’s smart to buy them before the cutoff. Until then, PlayStation releases will still be available on disc and digitally through the PlayStation Store on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
