Reported PS5 box stickers warn buyers of disc-free 2028 cutoff

An image posted on X on 5 August 2026 shows an alleged PS5 box sticker reading: "From Jan. 2028, newly released games on PlayStation will be available for purchase on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital format only." The label remains unverified. Sony confirmed the January 2028 disc-production cutoff on its PlayStation Blog on 1 July 2026.
