This was brought on by the Sony news that all disk based distribution will stop.

At what point do I have be concerned that a cart or disk I buy won’t work on my system without a mandatory download?

The ps3 seem pretty clear but I seem to recall a game or two that did require a download, or system update, to play.

How many ps4/ps5 games would I be able to play without a server connection?

What about switch 1 /2 games?

Is there a website that tracks this or a way to tell?

    So sad for the news; most of ps4 and ps5 games can be played from disc without an internet connection.

      I was hoping for that PS4 is in the spot where I want to collect the games even if I don’t have the console yet.

        PS5 is also very valuable since it’s the only console with 9th gen 4k games on discs. The site doesitplay.org can tell you when a games is playable from disc without updates.
