PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND:

We have to talk about the physical vs digital data, A LOT of people still buy Physical games on PS5.
More than you think, like WAY MORE! Please read and understand what Sony is doing it trying to FORCE DIGITAL games! IMO this should not even be legal:

- FY2025 Full Year (Apr 2025 – Mar 2026) = the digital to physical split was 78%/22%.
But this does NOT tell the whole story. Because this is all games sold, not all games that have physical copies and digital! So majority of the 78/22 split don't even have physical, let's look at some real numbers from leaks and stats we have:

From Insomniac Leak:

- God of War Ragnarök: 76% Physical / 24% Digital
- Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: 63% Physical / 37% Digital
- Astro Bot: 55% Physical / 45% Digital
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 54% Physical / 46% Digital
- Assassin's Creed Mirage: 49% Physical / 51% Digital
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: 45% Physical / 55% Digital
- Hogwarts Legacy: 44% Physical / 56% Digital
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: 40% Physical / 60% Digital

UK / Europe Retail Data (GSD – 2023/2024):

- Astro Bot: 55% Physical (UK) / and 60% Physical (Europe) – 2024
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 54% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Assassin's Creed Mirage: 49% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Hogwarts Legacy: 45% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: 45% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Horizon Forbidden West: 51% Physical (UK) – 2022

People still buy a lot of physical games on PS5, especially when it's SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. When it's more mp then it goes down to more digital. But please don't just listen to the 78%/22% split, those numbers are overall numbers and don't represent the full story AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE!

Because it's not a fair comparison since all games don't have a physical copy or eventually stop printing it. They are trying to paint a narrative to control prices and take ownership from you, that is the truth and spread it!

How quickly I've gone from being a lifelong PlayStation fan to wanting to bury the entire brand is giving me whiplash.

[MattBanXI @MattBanXI]

🚨 New figures emerging from the Insomniac leak.

So when games aren’t Fortnite, Apex, Rocket League etc., people buy physical just as much as digitally.

Gamers love physical. We shouldn’t be killing it off!

Buy Physical.

[Pyo 5️⃣ @mrpyo1]

As you guys know, I love PlayStation and have played since PS1. I have over 300 platinums, own over 700 games across PS1-PS5 = mostly physical!

I try to call out Sony as much as I can during the years and I understand why ppl call me a Pony.

But this thing with physical games crossed a huge line for me, a line so big I feel like I need to voice my opinion about this. I will keep calling out them out as much as I can I really hope this thing doesn't just phase out.

We need to be strong on this, and I really LIKE REALLY don't get the people who defend this. Like at some point, you have to stop being a blind findboy and be a fan of something. "It doesn't affect" me mentality will only make the world burn man.

It's not about digital vs physical, it's about giving people a choice of getting real ownership of what they buy.

Stand up for what you believe in and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

[Sam @imsamwithaplan]

@WitnessGamingTW @Pelon66199 @ZombiesLvBacon have fun selling your digital games when you're done with them! oh wait, you cant 😬

i hope you enjoy losing your rented games when devs or sony decide that your license is no longer valid, and you dont even get a refund for it!!

[StreetsofGage @StreetsofGage]

You all pre-ordered GTA 6 the moment it went live, and you all KNEW it was digital only. This is on you.

Fix this and cancel your pre-orders.

Do NOT get the PS6 if its digital only.

Don't just talk about, be about it!

[Sam @imsamwithaplan]

Wild that as a platinum hunter, the PS5 will be the last ever console i purchase, and eventually I will not be able to plat games anymore.

ownership isnt digital, thats called renting.

FUCK YOU PLAYSTATION!

FUCK EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR US PHYSICAL MEDIA COLLECTORS

FUCK YOU

FUCK YOUR ENTIRE DEPARTMENT OF BULLSHIT

WE DEMAND OWNERSHIP NOT A FUCKING LICENSE THAT CAN BE REVOKED AT ANY FUCKING TIME

•Repitan:

Un juego físico que trae código de descarga no es un juego físico.

Un DLC anunciado a los pocos días del lanzamiento es contenido recortado.

Una edición coleccionista que no trae el juego es merchandising.

Las malas prácticas son malas sea cual sea la compañía.•

[Kala Elizabeth @kalaelizabeth]

You'll pay the same price as before except now you won't own shit! No discs, just empty boxes with codes. When playstation removes your games from the catalog like they are in the process of doing with 500 paid movies you'll get nothing. You'll own nothing.

I’ve missed a lot of things I wish I hadn’t in the last 15 months because of this injury but today is, by far, the one I wish I had been there for the most.

He has brought out the best in me as both an ally and a foe. That’s because he is THE best.

When you’re consistently that good for that long, you become undeniable.

Sami becoming WWE Champion was inevitable. He has deserved that moment for a very long time and I am so happy to see him finally get it.

Now enjoy these pictures of me annoying him at various stages of our careers. The last one is him putting on my sock in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere in Texas because I thought I had broken my back the night before and could not move. He had to help me put on my boxers too.

Look how happy he is…

Now tell me he doesn’t deserve to be champion! @SamiZayn

E3 2013.

Microsoft told everyone the Xbox One would require online check-ins and lock down used games.

Then Sony walked out, put this on the screen, and the place lost its mind.

Trade it.
Sell it.
Lend it.
Keep it forever.

PlayStation won that entire generation on one promise: the disc is yours.

Worth remembering who we were cheering for, and what they were promising.

[Insomniac Games @insomniacgames]

@sonyvita87 The physical version will include a disc in box.

[Marvel's Wolverine Countdown & News @WolverineCD]

Hey @insomniacgames

I already know you guys are doing physical for Marvel’s Wolverine, but all I ask is please for your future games keep doing physical media, please.

[Kercy @KdeKercy]

Ngl all videogame stores should be doing this, their mere existance ends when physical media dies.
If any game store is selling this scam of a physical edition they are threatening their own existence, next step is not releasing any kind of piece of plastic and go full digital.
