Grand Theft Auto 6 Disc Version Releasing Later This Year According to Insider

Rockstar says the launch edition will include a download code, while genuine disc copies for PS5 and Xbox Series X are expected later, insiders said.

  • Pre-Orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 went live at Amazon, Walmart, and other retailers, but the 'physical' edition contains only a download code rather than a playable disc.
  • Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick previously stated that delaying a physical release 'is not the plan,' yet Rockstar Games has since confirmed the code-in-box format to prevent early leaks.
  • Insider Graczdari claims disc copies will arrive in December, stating 'the option for a disc release will follow' the $80 standard and $100 Ultimate Edition launch.
  • Several retailers have threatened to boycott the launch due to the lack of physical media, while fans express frustration over the 'bait-and-switch' and paywalled content in the Ultimate Edition.
  • While some sources anticipate a disc release later this year, others speculate physical copies may not arrive until early 2027, leaving fans to trust Rockstar will eventually fulfill the demand.
