■ Industry Trend Watch: The Digital Future
Sony has announced plans to stop producing disc-based games by 2028, widely interpreted as a sign that its next-generation console, the PS6, will likely no longer support physical media. With subscription services and digital trends strengthening, players are advised to mentally prepare and gradually adapt to a digital purchasing habit.
