Sony has announced that it will stop producing physical disc releases for new games starting in 2028. This decision has prompted players to recall Sony's E3 2013 campaign, where executives like Jack Tretton, Shuhei Yoshida, and Adam Boyes heavily promoted physical game ownership and sharing to counter Microsoft's Xbox One DRM policies. The shift to an all-digital future raises concerns regarding digital ownership rights and the likelihood of a disc drive or physical backwards compatibility for the upcoming PS6.
