索尼这家消费电子企业周三宣布，将停止为其PlayStation游戏主机生产实体光盘，自2028年1月起全面转向数字发行模式。
索尼表示，实体光盘生产停止后，新游戏将仅通过PlayStation Store——PlayStation游戏线上商店——以及零售商以数字格式发售。这一调整不会影响已发行的实体光盘游戏，也不会波及2028年1月前发售的新游戏。
索尼在一份声明中称：“随着消费者对数字媒体的偏好显著超过实体光盘，这是索尼互动娱乐顺应消费者趋势的自然选择。此次转型将让我们更贴合大多数玩家目前偏好的游戏获取和游玩方式。”
索尼最初名为东京通讯工业株式会社，1946年在日本成立。这家科技公司于1994年推出首款PlayStation主机，这款灰色主机搭载了光盘驱动器。此后索尼陆续推出了多款PlayStation系列主机，最新机型为PlayStation 5。
此次公告发布于《侠盗猎车手6》（俗称GTA 6）数字独占发行前夕。分析师预计，该游戏将成为娱乐行业有史以来最赚钱的首发作品。
玩家们已经等待这款游戏超过十年，其最新版本《GTA 5》于2013年发售。《GTA 6》的发售日期已多次推迟，目前定于11月19日推出。
市场调研公司Circana高级主管、电子游戏行业顾问马特·皮斯卡泰拉表示，2025年玩家在全新实体视频游戏上的支出为15亿美元，是该公司自1995年开始追踪这一数据以来的最低水平。
皮斯卡泰拉称，实体游戏的支出峰值出现在2008年，达116亿美元。

Sony to stop making physical discs for PlayStation starting in 2028

Sony is discontinuing physical discs for its PlayStation video game consoles and going fully digital starting in January 2028, the consumer electronics company said on Wednesday.
After physical disk production ends, new games will be available exclusively in digital format from the PlayStation Store, an online shop for PlayStation games, and at retailers. The change will not affect games that have already been released on disc or those that will be released before January 2028, Sony said.
“This is a natural direction for Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs,” Sony said in a statement. “This transition will enable us to align more closely with how most of our community prefers to access and play games today.”
Sony, originally named Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K, was founded in 1946 in Japan. The technology company produced the first PlayStation in 1994, a gray console equipped with a CD-ROM drive. The company has released several PlayStation generations since then, with the PlayStation 5 being the most recent model.
The announcement comes ahead of the digital-only release of Grand Theft Auto VI, commonly referred to as GTA 6, which analysts expect will be the most lucrative entertainment industry launch ever.
Fans have been waiting for the game for over a decade, as its most recent version, GTA 5, was released in 2013. The launch date for GTA 6 has already been punted a few times, with the game now expected to be released on Nov. 19.
As digital offerings increase, many consumers are moving away from physical media. Video game players spent $1.5 billion in 2025 on new physical video games, the lowest amount since market research firm Circana began tracking the metric in 1995, according to Mat Piscatella, the senior director and video game industry advisor at Circana.
Spending on physical games peaked at $11.6 billion in 2008, Piscatella said.
