Sony’s Disc Plant Confuses Everyone by Not Ending Disc End
KEY POINTS
- •Sony announced plans to stop producing video game discs by January 2028 but has delayed disc production cuts.
- •The Thalgau, Austria disc plant was reported to cut 90% of disc output in 2028 but now says it will cut only 10%.
- •A Sony DADC spokesperson clarified the company’s position to avoid misleading reports about repurposing the plant for microlenses.
In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, Sony’s Thalgau disc plant, once rumored to slash disc production by a dramatic 90% in 2028, actually just plans to trim a modest 10%, according to a mysteriously unnamed Sony DADC spokesperson. This clarifying comment came two months after reports claimed the plant was repurposed to make microlenses, not game discs. Sony insists it’s not backing away from killing video game discs by January 2028, yet the reality seems to be a slow-motion reboot instead of a fast forward—like an old PlayStation game trying to load off a scratched disc.

(1 of 3)Sony said goodbye to discs but forgot to pack their bags. Now it’s just a polite ‘see you later’ with 10% fewer discs. We’re all terrible drivers of our own lives, apparently even in the disc division.
Sony initially promised a blockbuster 90% disc cut, but ended up with a cameo role of 10%. Plot twists aren’t just for games anymore.
Sony’s disc plant is confused about its life goals—commitment issues on full disc death but casually dialing back only 10%.
