An image of the physical edition of GTA 6 has appeared on Reddit, ahead of its release later this month.
The expected open-world game – which won’t include a disc – is virtually identical to every other PS5 release, in a sealed blue plastic case with the usual logos and layout.
Although this is a German copy, there is a disclaimer on the front that mentions that no discs are included and only a download code is contained inside.
Fans will be able to purchase boxed versions of the Rockstar release from retailers starting November 12, giving them a week to preload the 212GB title before launch.
This is the first major title to be delivered in code-in-box format, although this will become much more common in 2028, when Sony has signaled plans to stop making Blu-ray discs.
Personally, I’m concerned about the plastic waste here. I understand that some people might still want to display a case with their other games, but if we get rid of discs, I would like Sony to implement some sort of recyclable format in the future.
Remember, if you want a Leonidas map to accompany your physical copy of GTA 6, you’ll need to purchase it separately for $0.99 from the Rockstar Store.

In the meantime, let me know if any of you plan to purchase the physical version and why below.
