Decision Makers:
Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC
We love your games. We've grown up with them. And we want to keep playing them the way we choose—including on discs.
What We're Asking
Please keep making physical game discs after 2028. Don't go digital-only.
We're not saying stop digital games. We're just asking for both options to stay available.
Why This Matters to Us
Owning vs. Renting
When we buy a disc, we truly own it. Nobody can take it away. With digital games, we're just renting a license that can disappear.
Sharing and Trading
With discs, we can lend games to friends, trade them, or sell them when we're done. Digital games lock us out of that.
No Internet? No Problem
Not everyone has fast Wi-Fi. Discs let people play without downloading huge files or waiting hours.
Keeping Memories Alive
Games are special. We love seeing our collection on a shelf, reading the booklets, and knowing our favorites will still work 10 or 20 years from now.
Fairness for Everyone
Some countries don't have strong internet. Physical discs make sure all gamers, everywhere, get the same chance to play.
What We Believe
Digital is great—we use it too. But physical discs are not outdated. They give us freedom, choice, and peace of mind.
We believe both can exist together. That's how it's always been, and that's how it should stay.
Please Do This
1. Keep making discs for all your big games.
2. Make sure future consoles (like PS6) have a disc drive option.
3. Keep selling games in stores, not just online.
4. Don't force discs to check online every time we play—let us enjoy them offline.
Sign If You Agree
If you think playing on disc should always be an option, please add your name.
Every signature shows Sony that physical games still matter to millions of people.
Thank you for listening. We're not asking to stop digital—we're asking to keep our choice.

Physical media is more accessible for people that don’t have access/good access to internet and it allows for the consumer to truly own their games.
physical disc are awesome cause it allows some of us who can't really afford games to be shared among us plus with the way play station has been doing even if we own the digital games they can just take it away meaning we won't really own anything
I don't want to be forced to have digital media just for my game's to be taken away whenever the companies feel like it especially since I use my own money to play their game's. I feel like it's such a huge betrayal and we need to tell these companies that we have a voice that this isn't right!
It's not just about preservation. It's about rights and personal property. Value. It's having games as physical keepsakes of adventures I've experienced. It's about long term value, having something I can sell or buy used if needed. It's about the entire ecosystem of the industry.
This contradicts your PS4 announcements, where you specifically showed how you would be able to freely share or resell your games.
it just is
This is the start of not own anything and we will see more and more beloved games becoming dead media

I'm not even a console gamer but I can see this is bad for the industry overall. Plus it wouldn't cost Sony anything from what I understand as the extra costs of physical media makes up for the extra cost. Also we should reject a future where we own nothing and must rent everything.
