Sony denies claims it is stopping disc production — but admits its last plant will drop production by 10%
Sony denies ending disc production completely, confirming a 10% output reduction while maintaining plans to stop new physical games in 2028.
Sony has dismissed claims it is ceasing disc production altogether, but revealed its final disc plant will reduce output by 10%. The company's last disc manufacturing facility will retain nearly full capacity after ceasing new physical game production in January 2028. Sony DADC clarified that the initial report of a 90% decline was incorrect, stating the reduction is merely 10%.
Despite this correction, Sony's stance on disc ownership remains uncertain, as the company recently argued consumers do not have true ownership of purchased games due to the possibility of simultaneous copies existing. The clarification does little to clarify Sony's long-term disc strategy, leaving consumers with questions about the future availability of physical discs.
