Sony halts PlayStation disk sales impact resale market
Sony announced that it will cease producing physical game discs for its platforms starting in 2028, shifting entirely to digital-only releases. The new versions will contain download codes instead of discs, which enhances the company's profit margins and diminishes opportunities for resale or sharing games among users. This decision marks a significant shift in the used game market, which was valued at $7.2 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $13.8 billion by 2034, as players will lose the ability to buy used games and get refunds. This move has sparked criticism from gamers and industry experts, especially as the used game market continues to decline inevitably. It comes at a time when the company is aiming to reduce reliance on physical discs and profit from digital sales, including closing stores on certain devices and experiencing a significant decrease in revenue from physical games.
