Rockstar Games has announced that the physical version of Grand Theft Auto 6 will not include an optical disc at launch. Rockstar Games confirmed that no disc version will be released for any platform at launch to prevent leaks. Buyers purchasing physical copies should note that the box will contain only a digital download code rather than a game disc.
Physical editions ship with digital download codes instead of optical discs to prevent pre-release leaks.
Details for the Standard and Ultimate editions were revealed when pre-orders opened on June 25. Customers who pre-order can begin downloading the game files on November 12 to play immediately upon release on November 19. Each physical retail copy will include a card containing a unique code for downloading the game digitally. The digital-only distribution method is designed to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution prior to the official release.
