PS6 LIVE: Release date 'revealed' by renowned insider

PlayStation blackout planned for a whole week by gamers protesting Sony's physical disc decision 

Gamers are planning a week-long PlayStation blackout to protest and make their voices heard against Sony's decision to discontinue producing physical discs.

Sony announced on July 1 it will not produce physical discs for any new release from January 2028 onwards. Physical discs will still continue to be produced after that date but only for games that have released before then.

The decision has been met with an overwhelming backlash across social media, with people saying they are planning to not purchase any future PlayStation products unless the decision is reversed.

A petition calling for Sony to reverse its decision now has more than 345,000 signatures at the time of writing.

Now a protest is being planned by gamers to completely boycott PlayStation for a whole week in August and it's gaining traction on X / Twitter with a number of people, including streamers, already confirming their support for it.
