GTA 6 Boxed Early: Just a Code, No Disc!
13 Nov
Summary
- An unboxing video of an early Grand Theft Auto VI PS5 copy went viral.
- The boxed edition contains a download code, not a physical disc.
- Gamers express frustration over the lack of a disc and rising digital-only games.
Grand Theft Auto VI, set to launch on November 19, has seen an early unboxing of a PlayStation 5 boxed edition, circulating widely online more than a week before its official release. The unboxing video, shared by a prominent fan account, revealed that the boxed copy contains a download code and a poster, rather than a game disc.
This has led to significant online commentary, with some users deeming the empty disc slot "diabolical" and expressing solidarity with the "#NoDiscNoBuy" sentiment. This frustration stems from a broader industry trend toward digital distribution, further underscored by Sony's announcement that it will stop producing discs for new PlayStation games starting in January 2028.
The boxed edition also includes a double-sided poster featuring cover art and a full illustration. While Rockstar will provide a free printable map of Leonida on launch day, a physical map version will be sold separately for 99 cents. The game itself will unlock on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, with preloads potentially requiring up to 212 GB.
