- Sony’s PlayStation disc factory is already being repurposed
Sony is repurposing its Thalgau disc manufacturing plant, shifting from producing PlayStation discs to optical microlenses. The facility, Sony's last wholly owned disc production site, currently makes 600,000 discs daily (half for PlayStation) but will reduce PlayStation disc output to 10% of current levels by 2028.
