- GTA will not support trade-ins or used copies at retailers such as GameStop, eliminating a significant secondary market avenue for players.
- The Hollywood Reporter described this update as a "car crash for physical media." Regardless, Rockstar Games marks a major departure from traditional disc distribution.
