That’s according to Polish site PPE.pl, whose insider Graczdari was previously responsible for the initial claims that GTA 6 would not have a physical version on release day, in order to prevent leaks.
Shortly after that report was published, Rockstar‘s parent company Take-Two denied that it was planning to release a physical version of GTA 6 some time after its November 19 release date.
This week it was finally confirmed that while GTA 6 will indeed have a physical release on November 19, it will only be a code in a box, rather than a physical disc. This partially corroborated Graczdari’s claim that the game wouldn’t have a physical release – at least in the traditional sense – because Rockstar wanted to prevent leaks.
Now Graczdari – who handles physical game sales in Europe and previously correctly leaked information on release dates of Oblivion: Remastered physical copies, the Switch 2 port of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and the PS5 port of Microsoft Flight Simulator – says a disc version of GTA 6 will still be coming this year.
Reporting again via PPE.pl, they claim that the ‘code in a box’ versions of GTA 6 are only for the initial production run, and that both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will get physical copies containing a disc some time in December.
“Generally speaking, the release with the code will be a one-shot, and the option for a disc release will follow,” they claimed (via machine translation).
