Sony has initiated a significant shift in its manufacturing strategy by repurposing its final remaining physical disc production factory. Following the recent announcement to wind down physical game production, the company is now retraining 300 employees at the facility to specialize in the creation of microlenses. This pivot highlights a broader industry trend toward digital distribution and marks the end of Sony's direct involvement in the mass pressing of physical game media, focusing instead on precision optical components.
