Sony is ending production of recordable Blu-ray, MiniDisc and MD Data disc media, along with MiniDV cassettes, the company announced. Last year, Sony said that it would gradually end production of recordable optical media and production at its Tagajo City plant due to poor sales.

February 2025 will see the end of three formats that Sony played a key role in developing. The company will then cease production of recordable Blu-ray discs, MiniDiscs and MiniDV cassettes. It may come as a surprise that these media are still being produced at all, as Sony launched its last MiniDisc system back in 2013.

Sony is officially ending production of recordable Blu-rays. In an announcement from Japan spotted by Tom’s Hardware, Sony Storage Media Solutions said it will stop manufacturing the discs in February, alongside recordable MiniDiscs, MD-Data, and MiniDV cassettes, adding, “there will be no successor models.”
