PS5 boxes updated with physical games warning label as politicians call out Sony
Sony is updating PlayStation 5 boxes with a warning label about its discontinuation of physical games after 2027, signaling a move towards a digital-only future. This decision has drawn criticism from politicians in Mexico, Brazil, and France, who argue it restricts consumer rights and promotes a model of licensing over ownership. While the EU has not intervened, citing existing consumer protection laws, Sony maintains it is proceeding cautiously with its plans.
