- A new report states that GTA 6 physical copies could be delayed to avoid spoilers.
- It will be a digital-only release, and a physical edition could be pushed till 2027.
- Rockstar and Take-Two want to make sure nothing leaks before the actual release.
GTA 6 is set to be the biggest event in the gaming industry in the entire decade. After waiting for a very long time, this is going to be the year we finally get our hands on Rockstar Games’ much-anticipated blockbuster title.
However, the studio is reportedly taking strict measures to make sure that the game doesn’t leak. Therefore, GTA 6 is rumored to be skipping physical edition at launch, and it will arrive later down the line.
Why it matters: Interestingly, the franchise has a history with leaks, as a significant portion of GTA 5 was leaked 3 weeks before launch; however, that had nothing to do with the discs, instead it was a PlayStation fault.
With GTA 6, Take-Two and Rockstar would be looking to avoid such a catastrophe. The report comes from the Polish site PPE.pl, which was informed by a reliable insider, Graczdari, who has a really good track record.
Graczdari handles physical game sales in Europe and previously correctly leaked information about Microsoft Flight Simulator’s PS5 port, and Oblivion Remastered physical copies, so we know the report has credibility.
According to the source, the physical copies will undoubtedly be released, but they could be pushed by 3 to 4 weeks or even till 2027. However, more information is expected to be confirmed by next month.
Nonetheless, it does seem like people who want to experience GTA 6 on day 1 will have to go all digital. Gamers are skeptical about digital games, but stats show that they have dominated sales in recent years.
