Sony Corrects Reported 90% Disc Production Cut to 10% at Thalgau Plant in 2028

Sony is not abandoning its video‑game disc business as quickly as some reports suggested. Two months after claims that the company’s last disc‑making facility was being repurposed, Sony’s disc‑making division clarified that the Thalgau plant will actually reduce output by only 10 percent in 2028, not the 90 percent that was widely reported. An unnamed Sony DADC spokesperson told Game journalist Brian Crecente that the earlier statement was misleading. The company remains committed to producing discs for the foreseeable future, and the revised figure means the Thalgau plant will continue to supply a substantial portion of the industry’s disc demand. This correction helps industry stakeholders adjust expectations about supply and inventory planning for the next few years.
