GTA VI without a disc could be a heavy blow for physical editions

The biggest game of 2026 could further accelerate the industry's shift towards digital releases.

According to Hollywood Reporter, Grand Theft Auto VI currently has no planned disc version, neither for release nor for the period after it. Although the game will have a physical edition in stores, it is expected to contain only a digital download code, without any actual media in the box.

This is a particularly sensitive decision for collectors and players who want the option to resell, lend, or preserve games long-term. If GTA VI succeeds without a traditional disc, it could send a clear signal to the rest of the industry.
