The latest financial reports from Take-Two, the publisher behind the highly anticipated GTA 6, have shed light on a significant trend in the gaming industry: the rise of digital sales. According to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, the company's sales are now 'well over 90% digitally distributed', marking a major shift away from traditional physical disc-based games.

This revelation comes as no surprise, given the increasing popularity of digital storefronts and the convenience they offer to gamers. However, it does have significant implications for the future of the industry, particularly in light of Sony's recent decision to stop manufacturing physical disc-based games.
