Sony’s confirmed plan to end disc production for new PlayStation games in January 2028 remains unchanged. An unverified report alleges the company surveyed developers about ending physical sales; no survey has surfaced, and Sony has not confirmed the claim.
Moore’s Law Is Dead reportedly said, citing anonymous contacts, that Sony sent developers an unusually large survey with at least one indirect question about the effects of ending physical sales. RinoTheBouncer amplified the claim on X, and ComicBook.com reported it as speculation; no named developer has publicly confirmed the account.
Games already released or scheduled to ship on disc before the January 2028 deadline are unaffected; Marvel’s Wolverine is among titles receiving a full physical edition before then. Analyst Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics estimated that physical copies generated 22.9% of the game’s early revenue, according to IGN. The figure is a projection, not sales data publicly confirmed by Sony.
