Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc
Santa Monica Studio says the game will still ship on disc as Sony moves future PlayStation releases to digital-only.
- On Friday, Santa Monica Studio confirmed that God of War Laufey will ship on physical discs, addressing collector concerns after a flurry of social media activity.
- Sony previously announced all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards will be digital-only, sparking widespread backlash from collectors regarding the future of physical media.
- The confirmation occurred as part of a San Diego Comic-Con event announcement featuring Game Director Ariel Lawrence, Head of Creative Cory Barlog, and actor Deborah Ann Woll.
- Because the title will ship on disc, Santa Monica Studio is likely targeting a launch before Sony's January 2028 deadline for new physical PlayStation releases, though no official date exists.
- Collector anxiety continues regarding gaming history preservation, particularly after Rockstar recently confirmed that physical editions of Grand Theft Auto 6 will simply include a download code.
