PlayStation announced that physical disc production for new games on its consoles will end in January 2028, with future titles releasing digitally only via the PlayStation Store and retailers. The PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita will close in phases, starting in select regions in late 2026 and completing globally by July 2027, ending new content purchases. Previously purchased PS3 and PS Vita games remain downloadable for the foreseeable future, while pre-2028 physical games are unaffected by the disc production change.
