The Perfect Sale To Build Your PlayStation Disc Collection
Sony plans to phase out physical game discs by 2028, prompting a surge in sales for physical PlayStation 5 titles. Retailers are currently discounting major first-party games to compete with digital storefronts.
Why it matters
The shift toward an all-digital gaming ecosystem raises concerns about long-term ownership and the preservation of media.
The PlayStation 5 console generation will be Sony’s last with a physical format attached to it. The company is ending discs in 2028 around the time the PS6 launches. It sucks. But if you’re one of the people mourning the loss of physical games, the good news is that you can currently get some of Sony’s recent PS5 exclusives in disc form for much cheaper than usual.
Sales are going on across Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers right now to compete with the PlayStation Store summer sale. That means that many physical games are getting discounted alongside their digital counterparts, including some of the most acclaimed first-party Sony games of the last decade:
