Sony is reportedly conducting a significant survey of developers to gauge their opinions on discontinuing disc support for its PlayStation console, as reported by the YouTube channel Moore's Law is Dead. The survey, described as the largest ever sent by the company, asked developers if there are any issues with selling games physically, indirectly seeking feedback on the decision to drop disc support for the PlayStation.
The move, announced in July, aims to align the console more closely with consumer preferences for digital media, which has become increasingly popular over physical discs. According to Sony Interactive Entertainment, four-fifths of games purchased on PlayStation 4 and 5 in the last financial year were digital. However, the decision has been met with disappointment by some developers, with collectors edition specialist Iam8bit calling it "profoundly disappointed" and Lost in Cult stating it was "deeply saddened" by the move.
