Mobile Device Support & Sales

Sony has stated it will continue producing physical game discs for consoles released before 2028, a move that ensures continued support for older titles even as the industry shifts towards digital-only distribution for new releases post-2028. This decision comes as several popular smartphone models are entering their final year of software support, prompting consumers to consider longevity when purchasing new devices last year.
