Sony plans to stop producing physical game discs by 2028, pushing the PlayStation Store to become the sole method for purchasing games on the PS6. This move will leave 121 countries unable to access the PlayStation Store, as they cannot create PSN accounts. The shift to a digital-only model is expected to exclude these countries from the platform entirely.

Users are divided on the issue. Some argue that Sony should provide alternative access methods for the 121 countries, while others believe the problem stems from regional restrictions and not Sony's responsibility. Themachinestops emphasized that the digital-exclusive future of the PS6 will lock out these countries, as they cannot create PSN accounts. Others pointed out that the discontinuation of physical discs will force a digital-only model, leaving these countries without access to the PlayStation Store.

The community consensus is that the shift to a digital-only PS6 will exclude 121 countries from the PlayStation Store due to their inability to create PSN accounts. The debate highlights the tension between Sony's strategic move and the potential exclusion of a significant number of users.
