Act on Tech

PlayStation and the Slow Goodbye to Physical Games

physical game disc production for all new games releasing on PlayStation consoles will officially be discontinued starting in January 2028

As the gaming industry continues moving away from physical discs, many gamers are celebrating the convenience of digital downloads. But is something important being lost?
In this episode of Act on Tech, Alex shares why he still believes physical media matters—not because he's against technology, but because ownership matters. From PlayStation's changing direction to the growing trend of digital-only libraries, we look at what consumers give up when they trade ownership for convenience.

Do you really own a game that can disappear from your account? What happens if a service shuts down or licensing changes? And what does this trend mean beyond gaming—for movies, music, software, and even the future of cloud computing?

Sometimes the newest technology isn't always the best deal for the customer.
