The disappearance of physical games reinforces rumors of a fully digital PS6 and Xbox Helix

Just yesterday we knew the decision of Sony to eliminate physical games for its PlayStation consoles from January 2028. A decision that, according to the manufacturer, is adapted to the preferences of the majority of its users who choose the game in digital formatalthough also sad for lovers of physical games. And this decision and this date give a lot to talk about, at least about the launch of the PlayStation 6.

The end of the physical format points directly to the launch of PlayStation 6

According to Kotaku, sony would have set this date January 2028 for games in digital format in relation to the launch of their PlayStation 6which according to what they tell us will arrive at the end of the 2028. Furthermore, rumors tell how this PlayStation 6 will come without disk readeralthough it is possible that sony I can sell an external one to play the games PlayStation 4 I PlayStation 5. Other rumors said that sony would maintain a strategy like the current one PS5 with digital and disc models, although this position seems to be losing more and more strength.

PS6 and Xbox Next could bet on a totally digital future

From Kotaku They have also had the opinions of other experts in the sector, where they agree that the decision to sony only guarantees a release of PS6 in format all digitalwhile others also add to the cart to the Xbox Next or Project Helix as a model that will not have a disc reader either.

Meanwhile, the community continues to ask questions regarding this decision. What will happen to the second hand sale of video games? With an all-digital market, users will not be able to take advantage of the sale of video games to obtain newer ones at a more advantageous price. They will also not be able to go to the usual stores to buy cheaper second-hand games.

The digital market raises questions about prices and ownership of games

Another debate that is in the air is the price of new titleswhere now they will have to depend on the Sony official storeas well as any discounts you want to offer. Prices that often remain around the high suggested retail price and where we usually found a much better price in the physical format.

We hope that the manufacturers can offer us more information about these questions that have been generated in the gaming community, all of this in the event that both PS6 as Xbox Next finally come with a design aimed at just digital gamesclear.
