Sony's decision to cease manufacturing game discs by 2028 has been met with significant backlash from the gaming community. However, it appears that the company is committed to its vision of an all-digital future. A recent report has revealed that Sony's manufacturing plant in Austria has been preparing for this transition for some time, with staff being retrained to adapt to the change.

This move is a clear indication that Sony is dedicated to phasing out physical game discs in favor of digital downloads. The company's facility in Thalgau, Austria, will not be closing down, and instead, will be repurposed to support Sony's digital gaming endeavors.
