GoKawiilSony discontinues UBP-X700/K, its last standalone UHD Blu-ray player, in Japan
Japanese retailer blog Kunkoku reports Sony has discontinued the UBP-X700/K, its final standalone UHD Blu-ray player, which now shows as out of stock with no restock date on Sony's site. This leaves the PlayStation 5 as Sony's only remaining device capable of playing UHD Blu-ray discs. The move follows Sony halting Blu-ray recorder sales globally in February and its summer announcement that it will stop producing physical PlayStation games starting in 2028.
