When is God of War Laufey<\/a> coming out? We still don\u2019t know. But we do know that it will still be released as a disc. That suggests it\u2019s planned to arrive before Sony ends physical games on PlayStation in 2028<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A disc version of God of War Laufey was confirmed on X<\/a> today amid the ongoing backlash over Sony ending physical games. Santa Monica Studio was promoting its upcoming panel with the developers for the game at San Diego Comic-Con on July 24. Members of the cast will appear alongside Game Director Ariel Lawrence, with Head of Creative Cory Barlog moderating the panel.<\/p>\n

To head off a sea of angry comments from Sony fans about the move away from physical media, Santa Monica Studio wrote beneath the post, \u201cWe can confirm God of War Laufey will be available on disc.\u201d<\/p>\n

What did you tell Sony when you heard that they will relegate all your future work to being a throwaway rental?<\/p>\n

What did you tell them when they said the voice of your fans doesn’t matter anymore?<\/p>\n

Your last game had a high physical sales percentage. Are you ready to sell less?<\/p>\n

Unlike most other recent posts from a PlayStation-adjacent account, the comments section was generally filled with praise. \u201cThe last SMS Physical Release,\u201d speculated one person. \u201cEnd of an Era.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s still a lot we don\u2019t know about how the end of physical media will go for PlayStation. While Sony has promised no more new discs starting January 2028, PS5 games that have already been published can continue to have physical copies printed.<\/p>\n

The one big question this raises is whether these PS5 discs will still be playable on the PS6<\/a> in some way via an optional optical drive attachment, or if everyone who\u2019s still been collecting games physically will be out of luck.<\/p>\n

To solve this issue on its side of the great console divide, Microsoft is reportedly testing<\/a> a way to digitize people\u2019s physical Xbox game libraries ahead of Project Helix by granting them digital licenses after a disc is played on their Xbox Series X\/S. So far at least, we haven\u2019t heard about Sony exploring any similar workarounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When is God of War Laufey coming out? We still don\u2019t know.
