Sony will maintain record production before 2028, but with manufacturing limitations
According to the company's explanations, developers will be able to continue to demand physical discs from previously edited video games, even though factories will greatly reduce their manufacturing capacity.
Sony has defined the conditions under which it will move into the digital market from January 2028. The multinational company will only maintain physical disk production for video games released prior to that date, a measure that will meet requests from developers and publishers who request old stock copies.
This change in strategy responds to current developments in the world market, where physical copy sales are no longer comparable or competitive with the volume of online trading, so from 2028, new video games will only be marketed in digital format.
Sony has warned of a radical change in the application process for publishers , reducing the capacity of record printing plants from their current level, and the company has not specified the exact impact this reorganization will have on developer waiting times or direct usefulness to players.
The 2028 innovations can be distributed in traditional stores, replacing a physical disk with boxes with digital download codes. This alternative aims to ensure that innovations continue to be present in windows without the need to manufacture memory cards or reading discs.
