GitHub burns code to CD ROM as Sony ends PlayStation discs

SONY will stop producing physical game discs for new releases starting January 2028, marking a shift to a fully digital PlayStation ecosystem. In response, GitHub launched a limited-time initiative to burn public code repositories onto CD-ROMs, allowing developers to obtain their code in physical form. This service is limited to 1,000 copies and serves as a critique of Sony's move away from physical media. Developers can submit requests to receive a disc, though regional availability and shipping constraints apply. Recipients may keep the discs as collector's items since accessing the code requires outdated optical drives.
