Sony is very well aware of the popularity of physical media for games. 80% of their sales are digital, and cost are higher for physical media, and the share is declining.
Don’t ever think there is a gotcha moment on this issue that Sony wasn’t aware of. They’ve been in this business for 30+ years.
They support physical media until 2028, after which new games will not come out on physical media anymore.
It’s not like Microsoft that tried to launch a new console, that out of the blue abandoned support for physical media.
