This sounds like it'll be in line with the handheld rumors as well.
PS6 Will Release With An Attachable Disc Drive and Simpler Design to Save Costs
- Thread starter Deep_Black_Conscious
- Start date
Unless Take Two’s CEO has twisted Rockstar’s arm into making GTA 6 the first of a newly ramped-up installment series then GTA 7 won’t be out until we are playing fully immersible virtual reality. Will that Playstation 6 or a Neuralink chip in your brain?
which is why the consumer should always have a way to backup their physical copies. It's how I have kept my PS1,PS2 ,and PS3 games on my modded consoles by making images of the discs. Great games will always have a market to sell to specially if they come with new features, like Capcom re-releasing mvsc2 with rollback

Highly doubt GTA 7 will exist as anything other than GTA online version whatever. Like they might come out with an 'extensive' single player campaign within it or some shyt rather than release a whole new game. I hope to be proven wrong, but Rockstar/Take Two too interested in updating their online Griefer fest rather than make stand alone games/stories.
You can back up your digital games on xbox and playstation right now.
shyt better be backwards compatible with ps5 disc drive.
not counting on it.
physical has a used market. Hence, you don't have to buy things at the moment...it could be 10-15 years later. I bought a used copy of last of us for my PS3 about 10yrs after it was released.
Everyone has different timelines and don't play everything then and there. Hell, it's a couple of ps1 games I bought within the last year that I didn't try in the late 90s.
Digital creates FOMO and expensive backlogs, imo. Not very consumer friendly.
If a game is pulled from a digital store it is probably rare and/or unavailable to buy used as well.
Most big games like Last of Us will always be available somewhere.
Not at all. At most it's gonna be priced out the ass.
meaning it’s hard to come by.
You guys use these outlier scenarios to make claims about physical vs digital games.
In reality you are just holding on to old technology.
There’s no reason to advocate for discs in 2025 other than cause you wanna collect them.
Even if a physical game is rare, it still exists and can be played on the platform it was made for. It will just be expensive.
If a digital only game is pulled, that game(sans modding) will never be playable again until it's put back up. It won't even be available to purchase.

If for some reason your console fails and you lose access to the account that purchased the game (don't have access to email or phone number) , can you play that backed up game on a new system with a different account. A disk would just play.

Right now you can put all your games on an SSD and plug n play them on any console.
Lots of people’s “problem” with digital games is you don’t even understand how they work.
