Sony on killing physical media on PlayStation: "We’re going to keep moving forward." And Anonymous has responded

Sony reaffirmed to investors that it will phase out physical PlayStation game releases starting in January 2028.

The company said the move reflects the industry’s shift to digital content, despite backlash from users and smaller publishers.

Anonymous criticized digital purchases as only a license to use, and urged consumers to buy games, music, and films in physical form.

The change could reshape real ownership, long-term access, collecting, and videogame preservation.
