Sony has begun placing advisory stickers on PlayStation 5 consoles and disc drives warning that physical game disc production will end in January 2028. The stickers confirm that newly released games will only be available digitally after that date, though existing discs will remain playable. The move follows CFO Lin Tao's confirmation of an all-digital future during a July investor Q&A.
PlayStation faces mounting fears over new DRM issues that may restrict access to digital games. Players could lose game access without online verification.
