Description
It’s official. The physical media era is dead, and Sony and Xbox just pulled the trigger together. With PlayStation officially locking in a January 2028 cutoff date to completely stop manufacturing game discs, and new leaks revealing Microsoft’s next-gen Project Helix is dropping the disc drive entirely, console gaming is changing forever. But the real trap is Xbox's secret "Disc-to-Digital" program.
In today's live broadcast, we are breaking down the massive industry-shifting announcements that dropped this morning, what this means for the PlayStation 6 and the next-generation Xbox Helix, and why without better consumer protections you will never truly own your video games again after 2028.
