Physical video game sales have reached a new low, with some reports indicating a 30-year low point in 2025. The industry as a whole has shown zero growth, with major console manufacturers such as Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo experiencing significant sales declines. Some upcoming games, including possibly Grand Theft Auto 6, may not have physical versions at launch, and PlayStation has announced an end to physical disc production for new games on its consoles starting in January 2028.
