Last night, PlayStation officially announced that starting from 2028, it will no longer produce PS physical disks, and all games will only be supported in digital form. This news shocked many players, and many loyal PlayStation fans came out to oppose Sony's decision. In fact, many players have stated that they will no longer support PS5 and PS6 if this change takes effect.
Many players have realized that this announcement may be Sony hinting that the PS6 will be launched in 2028, and it will probably only be released digitally.
Many players believe that this approach will further weaken users’ ability to control game ownership in the future, especially for those players who still insist on purchasing physical games. In addition, some players are dissatisfied that Sony is gradually reducing player choices and pushing physical games to withdraw from the market.

Some players also said that after this news was announced, they are more likely to switch to the PC platform in the future. At the same time, some people have mentioned PlayStation's series of controversies in recent years, including the cancellation of multiple service-based game projects, the continued rise in game and hardware prices, and other issues, and regard these as one of the reasons for their disappointment with the platform.
"PlayStation has been the epitome of great gaming in the past. I, like millions of other gamers, will never buy any of your products again."
