Sony isn’t phasing out discs quite as quickly as we thought

Sony clarified that its Thalgau disc manufacturing plant will only reduce production by 10% in 2028, not the previously reported 90%. The company is still committed to phasing out game discs by January 2028, but the transition will be more gradual than initially suggested.

Background

Sony announced in 2025 that it would phase out physical game discs starting in January 2028, prompting reports that its Thalgau manufacturing plant would drastically cut production. This clarification adjusts expectations around the timeline of Sony's transition to digital-only gaming.
