Sony's killing discs in 2028, but God of War Laufey is getting one — what's that mean for GTA 6?

God Of War Laufey Will Be On A Disc, And That Tells Us When It Could Launch By

Sony finally put a date on the disc funeral: January 2028. After that, no more physical games from them. I know a lot of people here are split on whether that matters, but it's still a bummer for anyone who likes a real collection.

Santa Monica Studio just confirmed God of War Laufey will ship on a disc. That's basically a wink that it's coming before the cutoff. Jason Schreier already said February or March 2027, so the timeline adds up. Marvel's Wolverine is getting the same treatment, so at least a couple heavy hitters are holding the line.

GTA 6 is already locked in for November 19 with a physical edition — pre-orders are live, and that Vintage Vice City Pack is a nice little throw-in. So we're safe for now. But I can't help wondering if this is the last dance for Rockstar on disc. Will GTA 6 be the final game you can actually pull off a shelf and slot into your PS5? Or do you think Rockstar will keep pressing discs for as long as they can, maybe even beyond Sony's deadline with limited runs?

I'm not ready to let go of that map poster and the smell of a fresh case. What do you all think — is this the end of an era for physical GTA, or will Rockstar find a way to keep it alive?
