God of War: Laufey to be released on physical disc

Santa Monica Studio has confirmed that the upcoming game "God of War: Laufey" will be released on a physical disc. The confirmation came via a statement on the X platform (formerly Twitter) and is significant for players who have expressed concern over Sony's decision to cease production of physical game discs for the PlayStation platform starting January 2028.

The player base has shown considerable dissatisfaction with Sony's announcement that new PS games will no longer offer physical discs from January 2028. The confirmation of a physical version for "God of War: Laufey" offers a ray of hope that physical copies will not disappear entirely, at least in the near future.

Speculation regarding the release date has also surfaced following this confirmation. Given that production plans for physical discs of new PlayStation games conclude in January 2028, a physical release of "God of War: Laufey" strongly suggests the game will launch sometime before the end of 2027.

"God of War: Laufey" was initially revealed during last month's PlayStation Showcase. The game centers on the journey of Kratos' second wife, Laufey, in the afterlife. The confirmation of a physical edition is a notable update for fans of the series.
