Persona 6 Will Have a Physical Edition, But Only for PS5

Summary

Sega has confirmed that Persona 6 will receive a physical edition, but exclusively for the PlayStation 5. This announcement came just before Sony declared the discontinuation of physical disc production, making Persona 6 one of the last major titles to get a physical release in the twilight of the physical media era. The PC version will be digital-only, which is unsurprising, but the absence of a physical Xbox version has raised eyebrows. In recent years, Japanese developers have shown stronger support for Xbox, with the Xbox Series being the only console where players can experience the entire Metal Gear Solid series. This decision highlights the rapid decline of physical game sales and the industry's shift toward digital distribution. For collectors, the PS5 physical edition will become a sought-after item. For the industry, it signals the gradual end of physical media as a standard option. Players should watch for potential special or collector's editions, and whether other platforms might receive physical versions later.
