Sony is killing physical discs for all new PlayStation games starting January 2028. From now on, every fresh release will be digital only. That means no more owning a real copy you can lend, resell, or keep on your shelf for years. You’re just renting a license tied to Sony’s account and servers. They can take it away anytime. Just look at the 551 movies (including Terminator 2, Total Recall, and Apocalypse Now) they’re deleting from people’s libraries this September with zero refunds. The “Buy” button is a lie.

Sony Kills the PlayStation Disc
Sony just decided that "owning" a PlayStation game is a privilege it can revoke.

The shift signals a fundamental reduction in player ownership – a chillingly pragmatic move considering the industry’s history with exclusivity. It's a calculation of cost versus opportunity, though the long-term implications for artistic integrity are unsettling.
