GTA 6 Physical Copies Will Be Code-in-a-Box at Launch, Sparking Retailer Backlash

Rockstar and Take-Two have confirmed that physical editions of GTA 6 will not include a disc at launch, instead containing only a download code in a box. Pre-loads are set to begin on November 12th, and the $80 physical copies will be available a week before the game's release date. Two physical-media-focused retailers have announced they will refuse to stock the game until a proper disc version is made available.
