Sony reportedly surveying developers about PlayStation disc-ending decision - is it having second thoughts?
Sony may be reconsidering its decision to end PlayStation disc support, according to a report from Moore’s Law is Dead’s Tom. The publisher reportedly sent a notably large survey to developers—described as “bigger than they’ve sent almost ever before”—requesting feedback on the disc discontinuation strategy.
The survey included questions about potential issues with how games are currently sold physically, suggesting Sony is actively gathering developer perspectives on the implications of phasing out disc-based gaming. This unusual outreach follows Sony’s prior announcement to shift away from physical media for future PlayStation releases.
The timing and scale of the survey has prompted speculation about whether Sony is having second thoughts regarding the disc-ending decision. Developer feedback could prove influential in shaping the company’s hardware and distribution strategy going forward.
