PlayStation owners plan a week-long “PSBlackout” protest over over Sony killing discs in 2028

PlayStation owners are planning a seven-day #PSBlackout from August 23 to August 30, protesting Sony's decision to end physical disc production for new PS5 games in January 2028. Participants are being asked to log out of PSN, stop playing, and spend nothing on the PlayStation Store. Analysts, however, say Sony's digital margins are too lucrative for the company to reverse course now.
