Sony assures developers they can still order some games on disc after 2027 - but there's a catch

Sony has announced it will cease production of physical PlayStation game discs by January 2028, signaling a shift toward a digital-only future. While new games will be digital-only, publishers can still re-order physical discs for titles released prior to the 2028 deadline.
Why it matters
This move marks a significant transition in the gaming industry, likely confirming that future hardware like the PS6 will lack disc drives.
Only games released before January 2028 will be able to re-order physical discs.
