Sony confirma el fin de los discos físicos de PlayStation para 2028

Sony anunció en Tokio que los nuevos juegos de PlayStation se venderán exclusivamente en formato digital a partir de enero de 2028, y colocó una etiqueta de advertencia en las cajas de la PS5 para informar a los consumidores. La decisión, confirmada el 31 de julio, representa el último paso en la transición de la compañía hacia un catálogo totalmente digital.

La compañía había reiterado previamente su plan, citando la digitalización general del sector pese a la oposición de los fans y una petición en línea. Sony aseguró que la medida no afectará sus resultados financieros y el director financiero Lin Tao señaló que la PS5 seguirá siendo más asequible que los PC de alta gama, señalando la caída de envíos y el aumento de los costos de hardware como motivos para impulsar las ventas digitales.
