Sony Has Begun Repurposing its PlayStation Disc Production Facilities in Thalgau
Sony has begun repurposing its PlayStation disc production facilities in Thalgau, Austria, following the announcement that physical game releases will cease in January 2028. The plant will shift its focus from producing 600,000 discs daily to microlenses, retraining its 300 employees. This move is seen as a cost-saving measure and a potential indicator that the PlayStation 6, expected around 2028, may not include a disc drive.
