Sony Ends Physical Game Production in 2028 – The Beginning of a Digital-Only Future | Invision Game Community

This decision raises concerns about ownership, pricing control, and market competition, as it concentrates sales power within the PlayStation Store and eliminates the second-hand market. While digital distribution offers convenience, critics worry about reduced consumer choice and the long-term preservation of games compared to physical media.
