The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to become available for pre-order worldwide, but a surprising detail has emerged regarding its physical release. In a move that might disillusion some fans of tangible gaming media, the physical edition of GTA 6 will not include a disc for the PS5 version, instead containing a digital code that buyers must redeem to play the game.

This shift towards digital distribution, even in physical purchases, reflects broader trends in the gaming industry. Many games now offer digital versions as the primary or even sole means of distribution, citing convenience, potential cost savings, and environmental benefits.
