PlayStation has updated its marketing for Grand Theft Auto VI to reflect a significant change in how the game will be distributed to consumers. The shift matters because it confirms that the standard and ultimate editions of the game will not include a physical disc for the PlayStation 5. This change directly impacts buyers who prefer physical media or collectors who value tangible copies of major releases.
Standard and ultimate editions ship without physical media
The update follows the removal of an earlier advertisement that claimed the title 'plays best on PS5.' Sony reposted a new social media advertisement featuring a disc-free PS5 Digital Edition console. The revised ad includes a new logo and emphasizes the digital nature of the console format to align with the new distribution model.
Physical pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI do not include a game disc, a detail that has surprised some buyers. The standard edition is priced at $80, while the ultimate edition costs $100. Neither of these packages contains a physical copy of the software, which has led to disappointment among collectors who expected traditional retail packaging.
The marketing adjustment addresses the reality of the disc-less pre-order structure. Collectors are disappointed by the lack of physical discs in the standard and ultimate editions. The updated advertisement serves to clarify the digital-only nature of the upcoming release for potential buyers.
