Kenzo Saruhashi, CEO of NIS America, publisher of the Disgaea series, stated that Sony is listening to feedback from players and developers regarding PlayStation physical discs and discussing next steps with developers. No definitive plan has been established yet.
PlayStation's shift toward digital games has sparked opposition from players concerned about the future of physical editions. Saruhashi noted that Sony has received substantial feedback from both players and developers, making it difficult to predict where these discussions will ultimately lead.
One possible approach under consideration is retaining physical packaging but including a game redemption code instead of a disc. However, this remains merely an option under discussion and has not been finalized.
Discussing communications with Sony, Saruhashi expressed his belief that Sony is listening to player feedback and that related discussions may evolve in the future. There is currently no final decision on how PlayStation physical discs and boxed games will be handled.
