Sony Survey Invites PS5 Players to Share Feedback Amid Disc Manufacturing Concerns

Sony has launched a new user survey asking PlayStation fans to rate various aspects of the PS5, from its user interface to its software library. The questionnaire includes open-ended text boxes where players can share their overall impressions of the console and its games.

The survey's emergence on social media has drawn attention from players concerned about Sony's shift toward all-digital distribution. In September 2026, the company announced it would stop manufacturing PS5 discs by 2028, a move that has remained a point of contention among physical media collectors and players who prefer owning physical copies.

Fans are now hoping that detailed responses in this survey will reach Sony's leadership. The company has faced sustained criticism on social media about the decision, though the intensity of discussion has decreased in recent weeks.

The survey appears to be a standard feedback gathering effort from PlayStation, covering the PS5 brand more broadly rather than focusing specifically on physical media concerns. For players with strong feelings about the transition to all-digital gaming, the survey provides a direct channel to communicate those views to the platform holder.

In August 2026, a fan-led blackout campaign aimed at impacting PS5 engagement metrics failed to produce measurable results. According to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, there was no detectable change to overall PS5 user engagement during the attempted boycott.
