Sony plans to end physical PlayStation 5 game production by 2028, and the Austrian plant that prints Blu‑ray discs for the titles is being converted to manufacture micro‑optical lenses. The €30 million investment to retool the facility reflects a marked decrease in demand for disc manufacturing. ORF.at reported that DADC’s CEO said order volume has decreased, with PlayStation accounting for roughly 50 % of the plant’s output today and about 10 % expected by 2028. Employees were briefed that the change will not result in job losses. DADC intends to shift production capacity toward micro‑optical components for Sony, indicating a continued focus on non‑disc technologies. The transition suggests physical game distribution will be phased out, with no indication of a reversal.
