Of course, fans are demanding to know because PlayStation recently announced that it is ending production of physical discs in January 2028 and setting up the PlayStation 6 console to be digital-only.
In fact, some time ago, PlayStation announced its physical disc (and confirmed that it was shutting down PS3 / PS Vita PlayStation Stores), and many fans were not happy.
