Will my existing PlayStation discs stop working?

No. Sony says games released on disc before January 2028 are unaffected and will continue to work.

Does this mean the PS5 loses its disc drive?

Sony's announcement covers new-game disc production only. It has not said anything about removing disc drives from current or future consoles.

When exactly does the change take effect?

Physical disc production for new PlayStation games ends in January 2028; releases before that date can still ship on disc.
