Only Nintendo Can Save Physical Games - Next-Gen Console Watch
About this episode
The episode discusses Sony's shift to an all-digital ecosystem and the implications for physical games, highlighting Nintendo's potential role in preserving physical media.
This week we got the surprise announcement from Sony that it is ending production of PlayStation discs in early 2028. So in 18 months, going forward PlayStation will be an all-digital ecosystem. Your existing discs will work in your PS5 if it has a disc drive, but the PlayStation 6 will presumably not play discs at all. We expect Xbox's Project Helix to go the same way. And so, it falls to Nintendo to carry the torch for physical media. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
