Sony patent reveals how PlayStation physical discs will work in 2028

  • Starting in 2028, Sony will introduce a new way for physical discs for new PlayStation games.
  • New relays are proposed to be embedded in the form of a digital watermark or with code hidden in the grooves.
  • Games, released in 2028, will be protected by discs.

Sony has disclosed that starting in 2028 it will use physical discs for new PlayStation games. The novelty of the new releases lies in the fact that they will include either physical watermarks in the form of a digital version, or physical codes hidden in the grooves.

The company explained that this is intended to ensure that the digital content of physical discs is protected. Sony also noted that it is possible to use a separate method for each game, which will make it harder for pirates to copy.

In short, the solution is clear: the game will be protected by a disc.

Earlier, there were rumors that Grand Theft Auto VI will be released in a format with a disc that will likely be tied to the console, making it difficult to crack the game.
