Sony discontinues its last 4K Blu-ray player

Sony ended sales of the UBP-X700/K, its final standalone 4K Blu-ray player, in Japan on October 22, 2026. With PS5 game disc production also ending in January 2028, the console will be Sony's only remaining device that can play UHD discs.

• Sony pulled the UBP-X700/K, its last 4K Blu-ray player launched in spring 2025, from the Japanese market
• Sony will stop producing physical PS5 game discs starting January 2028
• The PS5 lacks Dolby Vision support for 4K movies, unlike the UBP-X700/K
• LG exited Blu-ray in 2024 and Samsung in 2019, leaving Panasonic as the last major manufacturer
