(FILES) Sony PlayStation video games consoles are stacked up at the headquarters of RetroSix in Stoke-on-Trent, England on April 1, 2025. Sony said on July 1, 2026 that it would stop releasing new video games for the PlayStation on disc in January 2028 following a shift in consumer preferences. "Following this date, new games will be available on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only," the company said on its official PlayStation blog.
