Engadget • • technology
Key Points:
- Sony plans to stop producing physical disc-based PlayStation games starting in 2028, though existing discs will remain playable on current consoles.
- The PS5 supports physical discs for PS5 and most PS4 games, with backward compatibility excluding PS1, PS2, and PS3 physical titles.
- The PS5 plays Ultra HD Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and DVDs, but does not support 3D Blu-rays or audio CDs; streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, Apple Music, and Spotify are available for media use.
- A detachable PS5 disc drive is available for $79 for the Slim digital and PS5 Pro models, but is not compatible with the original Digital Edition.
- Home-burned video discs may work if finalized properly, but raw video files on discs are unsupported; USB drives can be used as an alternative for playing personal media files.
