Ubisoft chief executive Yves Guillemot has argued that physical game discs are likely to disappear over time, reflecting the industry’s wider shift towards digital downloads, subscriptions and cloud-based access. His comments matter because they highlight continuing concerns about ownership, game preservation and consumers’ ability to resell or retain games when digital storefronts or licences change.

The article’s headline refers to Sony, whose consoles still support physical media in some models but have increasingly promoted digital-only options. Guillemot’s view is not a confirmation of any immediate Sony decision; it is an industry opinion that physical games will gradually become less central as distribution habits change.
