Sony's planned discontinuation of PlayStation 5 physical disc production in 2028 raises concerns about accessibility for various groups, including those with limited internet access, public libraries, and gamers in developing countries. While some anticipate challenges related to download sizes and ownership, others note that digital-only gaming is already a reality for many, and factors like the used game market and piracy complicate the transition. The shift could impact gaming communities and the concept of game ownership, even if it streamlines tournament organization.
