The Current State of PlayStation Raises Some Big Questions
The current state of PlayStation has become a major talking point after several decisions and releases sparked debate among fans. Sony confirmed that physical disc production for new PlayStation games will end beginning in January 2028, with future new releases shifting to digital distribution. Existing games released on disc before the transition are unaffected, but the announcement has intensified concerns about physical game ownership and the industry’s continued shift toward digital distribution. In Short, gamers are not happy about this.
At the same time, Marvel’s Wolverine has not received the overwhelmingly positive reception many expected from Insomniac Games after releasing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2. While reviewers have praised elements including Logan’s characterization, visuals and story, criticism has focused on repetitive combat, linear level design, and a perceived lack of ambition compared with Insomniac’s Spider-Man games. The game was sitting around a 78 Metacritic score ahead of release, creating another discussion around PlayStation’s first-party output. In our latest LV1 Gaming video, we break down these developments and ask a bigger question: what is happening with PlayStation right now?
