Can you buy a PlayStation game from Amazon as a digital code?

Unlike Xbox games, PlayStation games are not sold as digital codes on Amazon, only as physical products (discs). They often tend to have more affordable prices than those found in the PlayStation Store, but you need to wait for the discs to get delivered to your address, you can’t enjoy them instantly.

For example, you can buy Elden Ring for PlayStation 5, but as seen below, it’s not available as a digital code. However, the game is available as a digital code for the Xbox console. That sucks, doesn’t it?
