Ubisoft chief executive Yves Guillemot says Sony’s reported plan to stop producing game discs in 2028 is unlikely to disrupt the games industry significantly. He argues that an all-digital approach could expand the market and make consoles more affordable, though the change matters because it would remove physical ownership and resale options for PlayStation customers.

Speaking on Ubisoft’s quarterly investor call, Guillemot compared the shift to PC gaming’s move away from physical releases and towards digital storefronts. He acknowledged advantages and disadvantages, while saying Ubisoft does not expect major industry disruption; PC Gamer notes, however, that Sony’s tightly controlled console store differs from the more competitive PC market, raising concerns about pricing and consumer choice.
