Sony has confirmed that beginning in 2028, new PlayStation releases will no longer receive physical disc versions. We discuss what this means for collectors, game preservation, retailers, and whether this is the first step toward an all-digital PlayStation future. We also break down Bungie's massive layoffs following the end of Destiny 2's content roadmap, what the studio's future looks like under Sony, and why Marathon has become one of PlayStation's biggest challenges. Plus, we discuss reports that Xbox has dropped funding for IO Interactive's Project Fantasy, PlayStation's next-generation hardware strategy, concerns surrounding PS6 pricing, declining PS5 sales, and what all of these developments mean for the future of the gaming industry. Join us for another week of PlayStation news, industry analysis, and everything happening across the world of gaming.
