Former PlayStation chief says PS6 likely to support physical discs

Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden believes the upcoming PS6 will still support physical discs, despite the industry's shift toward digital gaming. He argues that many regions, including military bases and areas with poor internet, still rely on physical media. Layden's comments highlight the importance of maintaining options for a global audience, as PlayStation remains popular in over 170 countries. This contrasts with the all-digital models of competitors like Xbox, which have succeeded in certain markets. While Layden's views are not official Sony policy, they suggest that the PS6 may follow a similar model to the PS5, which had both disc and digital versions. Sony has not yet announced the PS6, but speculation about its development continues.
