(UPD) GTA VI may get a physical edition with a disc in December

Update from June 25, 2026, at 3:05 p.m. BST / 10:05 a.m. ET / 7:05 a.m. PT

Rockstar Games support has reportedly confirmed that a physical edition (on disc) of GTA VI will be released in "the following months" after the game’s initial launch on November 19. The wording of the message seems rather vague, so this information should be taken with a grain of salt.

Many fans were disappointed to learn that the GTA VI physical edition, set to go on sale on November 12, will contain only a code and not a disc. This decision may have been made by Take-Two Interactive to prevent leaks and other spoilers.

However, the website PPE.pl, citing insider Graczdari, reports that a physical version with a disc will indeed be released this year, and it could arrive as early as December on PS5 and XBOX Series X. The version with a download code is said to be merely a "one-off" to ensure a more efficient launch without leaks.

In the past, Graczdari has provided accurate information about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 for PS5, Oblivion Remastered, and Sonic Racing: Crossworlds. He had also mentioned the lack of a physical release for GTA VI. If a boxed version does indeed come out, the absence of a disc proves him right. He is therefore a relatively reliable source.
