Sony disc production halt from 2028 could hit low-income gamers hardest
Concerns have emerged that low-income gamers could be hit hardest if Sony stops producing physical game discs from 2028. Users who rely on used games and offline distribution could lose affordable buying options, while many regions lack adequate internet access and payment methods for digital purchases. Industry figures also warn that higher console prices, limited PlayStation Network support in parts of Africa, account and policy risks, and bandwidth costs could raise barriers to playing games.
