Discs have region locks lol
PlayStation games haven’t been region locked for decades, that all went away with the PS3 in the 2000s. It happened a bit later with movies, with all UHD/4k discs being region free.
But even region locks were still a thing, if you move you can bring your discs and player with you and not lose anything. This is not always the case with online accounts.
My Playstation bought in the USA never stopped working when I physically moved to a different country.
I'm not a PlayStation guy but the early PlayStation as well as movie DVDs/Blurays had region lock. Basically it only lets you play media from the same region you bought the player/console.
