Hideo Kojima Warns of 'Scary' Digital Future After PlayStation Reveals Plans to End Physical Disc Production

Hideo Kojima, the creator of Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding, warned of a 'scary' digital future, just days after Sony announced it would soon cease production of physical PlayStation discs. More on this topic hints at Rainbow Six Siege featuring a meeting of Splinter Cell with Metal Gear Solid as Solid Snake is unveiled as a new playable character. Kojima shared his thoughts on the shift away from physical media during a talk at the Il Cinema in Piazza film festival in Rome (translated by Genki). His comments came after the announcement of the end of production for new PlayStation discs in January 2028, and while he did not name Sony, the implication of his remarks seems clear.
