Sony launches a survey for PS5 users amidst news of a forthcoming termination of disc production by 2028.
In a move that could indicate shifting strategies within Sony, the company has launched a survey seeking feedback from PS5 users, particularly in light of their planned discontinuation of physical disc production by 2028. According to a report from Push Square, the survey doesn’t directly address the cessation of discs but invites users to comment on various aspects of the console, including its UI and software library. This suggests that Sony is actively gauging consumer sentiment as they prepare for an eventual transition away from physical media, which would mark a significant shift in the gaming industry’s landscape.
Games Updates and Releases
A slew of game-related announcements has also made the rounds. Notably, Control Resonant is set to receive an Infinite New Game+ mode and a Photo Mode in updates slated for October and November. As reported by Push Square, these additions are part of Remedy’s post-launch plans for the PS5 sequel. However, fans of the title may be disappointed as there appears to be no further story DLC planned at this time.
In terms of new releases, the PS5 is slated to receive its version of the popular sandbox game BeamNG.drive on October 19, 2026, according to PlayStation Lifestyle. This “hyper-realistic” racing game originally launched on PC will take advantage of the PS5’s superior hardware capabilities, offering detailed real-time soft-body physics that enhances the gaming experience.
Additionally, the previously announced PS5 action RPG titled Dawngazer is generating buzz. Developed by Monochrome Software and set in the brand-new fantasy world of Ignisphere, it is expected to release in 2028. The game marks a new venture from Vanillaware veteran Takafumi Noma, as reported by PlayStation Lifestyle.
