Yes. Scratches can affect trade-in value.

Disc condition matters a lot, especially because we have high standards for the discs we sell. If a disc comes in scratched, we may need to run it through our professional disc refinishing equipment before it can be sold.

Blu-ray format discs, including many PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series discs, are especially sensitive. Because of how those discs are made, they cannot be resurfaced the same way as many older CD or DVD-based games. Marks or damage on Blu-ray discs can significantly affect whether we can accept them or how much we can offer.

Condition matters, and better condition usually means a better offer.
