Renowned developer Hideo Kojima expressed his concern over Sony's impending end to disc production in 2028. His statement reflects his deep personal regret over this decision.
"My generation grew up with physical media, so the end of video game production in 2028 is deeply regrettable to me. I personally actively purchase Blu-ray discs, especially movies, as well as CDs," Kojima shared.
He noted that although movies and TV series are now predominantly distributed digitally, global changes could lead to restrictions on access to content in various regions. He believes a similar fate could befall video games in the absence of physical media. This, in turn, is the developer's primary fear.
It's worth noting that starting in January 2028, Sony will completely cease production of physical media for all new games on PlayStation platforms. One of the enterprises, which specialized in the production of disks, is already being re-profiled to produce micro-optics.
