In a nutshell

• Grand Theft Auto VI may get a physical disc release in December 2026, a month after launch.
• The game was initially announced as digital‑only, with physical copies containing just a code.
• Rockstar’s delay of discs is likely intended to prevent leaks before release.

After the disappointing news that the physical version of Grand Theft Auto VI will not come with a disc, according to Polish outlet ppe.pl, which has accurately reported on past physical game releases, the game will reportedly receive a physical disc release in December 2026, just weeks after its official launch on November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

“Generally, the release with the code will be one shot, and then the option for a disc release will follow,” the report states.

Why No Disc at Launch?

Industry insiders suggest Rockstar and Take‑Two deliberately avoided a disc release on day one to prevent leaks. Physical discs often surface early, leading to spoilers and unauthorized resales.

While this is a rumor at this point, we can only wait for a more definitive announcement from Rockstar Games itself.
