Sony stops making physical games for PS5
Sony has stopped making physical games for the PlayStation 5, a move that has sparked concern among gamers. Many worry about losing the ability to lend or sell games, and the shift towards digital-only purchases means buying a licence rather than owning a product. This comes as console prices are rising, with the cheapest PS5 now 50% more expensive than in 2020.
