Sony Interactive Entertainment?s senior vice president of platform and planning management, Hideaki Nishino, has confirmed to Eurogamer that the PlayStation 5 will allow physical copies of video games to be played offline.
Like the PS4, the PS5 disc edition will not mandate download and installation of patches unless, of course, it?s a multiplayer game. So if you?re one of those who enjoy offline single-player games without being prompted to go online, you can rest easy knowing Nishino thinks that not being able to run a game off a disc is ?out of the question.?
