GTA 6 LIVE: Physical discs verdict 'revealed' after 'digital-only launch'

Reaction to GTA 6 physical discs 'verdict'

Redditors in the GamingLeaksAndRumours Subreddit have been reacting to reports and claims that it appears unlikely GTA 6 will have any physical discs.

xAVATAR-AANGx said: "At this point, I guess by the time we hit the PS7 or even once we hit the PS6 Slim, discs will be phased out entirely."

On a post from Loose_Society9485, Santa-Banana said: "And for people saying 'games be too big and can't fit on discs' well you might be too young to remember but Rockstar / Take-Two themselves have published numerous games printed on more than one disc. It is completely possible to ship any games, printed in its entirety in a physical edition. That game code is utter nonsense. Every publisher can sell you their games, 100% complete on discs, that you own and can play offline. It's not that Rockstar can't, they don't want to. The end."

SylviSweetheart said: "I don't know why anyone would think that this is coming. Why would Rockstar send two nearly identical SKUs out, one with discs and one without? That would annoy retailers and confuse consumers. If they wanted it to be on a disc, it would be on a disc."

GTA 6 physical discs verdict 'revealed' after 'digital-only launch'

A renowned insider has backed up a report claiming there are no plans for GTA 6 physical discs at all, even after launch.

GTA 6 has physical versions available to pre-order - but this is for a download code inside a box.

There has been speculation there could be physical discs arriving soon after the game's initial launch but a report from The Hollywood Reporter claimed "there are no plans for GTA 6 discs to be printed".

And responding to a comment about this on Reddit, NateTheHate added: "I've only chatted with two contacts and neither were aware of a physical-disc version; so it would align with the report from THR. I'm still looking further into it for rock-solid confirmation."

GTA 6 physical discs have neither been confirmed or denied by Rockstar Games at the time of writing.
