Key Points:
- Marvel’s Wolverine is projected to be one of the last first-party PlayStation games released on disc, yet approximately 35% of its sales are estimated to be physical copies according to Ampere Analysis.
- Other top PlayStation titles in September 2025 also showed strong physical sales, with Blood of Dawnwalker at 36% and Silent Hill Townfall at 45% disc sales, especially in Europe where PlayStation dominates.
- The sustained demand for physical copies may reflect both a final surge before Sony phases out discs and an ongoing consumer desire to collect tangible game editions.
- Gaming analyst Joost van Dreunen highlights that despite industry trends toward digital, physical sales remain significant due to consumer preferences for collecting, indicating the market isn’t ready to fully abandon discs yet.
