PlayStation Fans Arrange Boycott Over Digital-Only Approach

PlayStation fans are organizing a week-long August boycott to protest Sony’s reported plan to stop releasing physical game discs in 2028.

Critics say digital-only purchases weaken ownership, limit access, and raise preservation concerns for games.

The backlash has spread through petitions and social media, but analysts doubt the boycott will force Sony to change course.

The dispute underscores broader industry concerns as publishers shift from physical media to digital licensing.
