Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot comments on Sony’s announced plan to stop producing physical game discs. Speaking to media outlets covering the industry debate, Guillemot says he does not expect the move to “disturb” the wider market much. Both reports note that his remarks frame the shift as a change with potential advantages and drawbacks, but one that is unlikely to cause major disruption across the industry.
The coverage centers on how game makers and platform holders may respond as physical distribution declines. Guillemot’s position suggests that digital sales and alternative distribution methods can continue to support publishers without relying on disc production at the same scale. The statements are presented as an assessment of likely industry impact rather than a detailed policy or timeline endorsement.
Overall, the sources agree that Guillemot believes Sony’s decision to retire disc manufacturing will not lead to a significant upheaval for other companies in the sector, even as the industry weighs the pros and cons of moving further away from physical media.
