As the others said, disk. This is because eventually Sony's PS5 servers will go down and you will lose the ability to re-download games you've purchased to the machine.

As of now it's unknown if there will ever be a PS5 hack that will allow installation of games from non-legitimate sources.

It's always good to have physical copies.

Thinking about getting a ps5 but what do you mean servers going down? Been an xbox guy and never heard of this.

Eventually the servers will shut down. The Wii can no longer use its features, same for the 3ds. This means that if you purchased a game digitally then you won't be able to re download when the console stops being officially supported.

PS4 emulation is still lacking, PS5 is barely even a thing at all. I'm sure they will eventually happen, but even the X360 emulation scene isn't that good. As time advances consoles get more and more difficult to emulate.
