Sony is reportedly surveying game developers about its decision to discontinue disc-based PlayStation games, raising speculation about whether the company may reconsider its plans. The survey, which appears to be the most extensive ever conducted, solicits feedback on the impact of ending physical game sales. This comes after Sony announced it would cease disc production by early 2028, citing declining physical sales and the dominance of digital games.
The announcement sparked criticism, especially on social media, with notable figures like Hideo Kojima expressing their concerns. Sony had previously clarified that disc production would decrease by 10 percent in 2028, not entirely end. While a survey of developers suggests some unease about the transition, it remains unclear if Sony will entirely change its stance.
