💿 GTA 6's missing disc may be a glimpse into gaming's future. 👀
Rockstar's decision to ship GTA 6 in a physical box with a download code instead of a Blu-ray disc sparked major backlash from collectors. But just days later, Sony announced that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onward will be digital-only, with physical discs being phased out entirely. About 80% of PS5 full-game sales are already digital, according to Sony.
That means GTA 6 may not be an exception, and it could be the beginning of a much larger industry shift. While games released before 2028 will still receive disc versions, Sony's long-term direction is now clear: the future of PlayStation is digital.
For collectors, game preservation advocates, and players who like lending or reselling games, it's the end of an era. For publishers, it's the next step in a market that's already moving away from physical media. 🎮
💬 Do you think gaming is better with physical discs, or are you ready for a fully digital future? 👇
