## Summary

- Sony will stop producing physical discs for new PlayStation games starting January 2028.
- Since 85% of PS5 software was sold digitally last quarter, the remaining 15% effectively disappears.
- While existing discs remain, the path to resell new releases closes, making what buyers hold access rights permitted by the platform, not assets.
- Teams selling digital goods must prioritize persistent rights after service ends in their trust design.
