Producing PS5 and Xbox Series discs was such a closed topic that the sources of the new investigation refused

Producing PS5 and Xbox Series discs was such a closed topic that the sources of the new investigation refused to speak about the process under their own names, and Sony and Microsoft declined to comment.

According to the Game File, the physical version starts with the publisher's request to the platform owner, then the contract is signed, the publisher takes responsibility for the printing, the game is certified, the layout, the volume of the disc and other parameters are selected.

The basic cost of production is about 15% of the game's recommended price - just over $10 for a $70 release.

Costs increase if the project requires a larger disk or multiple disks.

That's why the profits from physical copies are significantly lower than digital sales. #game
