The latter comes with exclusive in-game content. However, neither of them comes with an actual game disc, and even physical edition Amazon listings (Xbox / PS5) are limited to code in the box.\nThere is currently no disc version of Grand Theft Auto VI available for purchase. Rockstar has reportedly confirmed that this will eventually change, but not in time for the GTA 6 release date on November 19. On top of that, according to a leaker by the name of Graczdari, who correctly predicted no day-one physical release, fans may have to wait until December for the disc version.\n\nSign up for our free, weekly newsletter!\n\nSubscribe\n\nBy signing up, you acknowledge our privacy policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Leave this field empty if you’re human: \n\nGTA 6 physical disc release to come in “following months” after launch\nPolish publication PPE.pl previously reported on a tip from well-known leaker ‘Graczdari’ suggesting that the physical disc will not be available until a few weeks after launch. For collectors looking to get their hands on a physical disc, the leaker suggests a December 2026 window. While Rockstar hasn’t specified the month, a response from its support team confirms a disc is coming.\n\nPrime Day deals\nPrime Day is officially here, and we've found all the best deals on tech and gaming.\n\n        AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D - was $479 now $433.99\n\n        Samsung 32\" Odyssey G55C - was $329 now $189\n\n        Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 2TB - was $679.99 now $349.99\n\n        Hisense 100\" U7 Mini-LED - was $4,499 now $2,499.99\n\n        ASUS ROG AMD RX 9070 XT & 9800X3D Gaming PC - was $2,299.99 now $2,119.99\n\nPrices correct as of June 23rd on Amazon.com.\n\nOne of PPE.pl’s readers chimed in with a message from Rockstar Support to confirm that current pre-orders only account for digital copies. Assuming the screenshot below is legitimate, the support team says a physical disc copy will be available in “the following months”.\nCredit: BeDR3D_PL via PPE.pl\nWe would still take the snippet above with a grain of salt due to a grammatical error, but it’s currently being reported as legitimate. Either way, the lack of physical disc pre-orders has irked fans, and it is a shame to see physical media enthusiasts essentially being forced to wait until after launch to pick up the game – unless they don’t mind buying it twice.\n\nPrime Day is coming — don’t miss the deals\n\n      Get ready for exclusive savings with Prime.\nAges 18–24 can get a 6-month Prime trial for $0\n\n      Start your Prime trial →\n    \n\nIt’s also important to note that those who pre-order GTA 6 earn a special pre-order bonus: the Vintage Vice City Pack, which comes with an exclusive ’55 Vapid Stanier vehicle, outfits for Jason and Lucia, and weapon skins based on the iconic Tommy Vercetti palm tree shirt from GTA: Vice City, released way back in 2002. Those waiting for a physical disc copy will miss out.\n\n    1094Would you buy a bare bones Steam Machine?Would you buy a variant of the Steam Machine with no RAM and/or no SSD and install them separately to help save on costs?
