Leaks, price control, no second-hand sales: why Grand Theft Auto 6 physical editions won't come with a disc, according to experts
Grand Theft Auto 6 physical editions will not include a disc, instead featuring only a download code, a move experts attribute to Rockstar Games' desire for greater price control, elimination of the second-hand market, and prevention of game leaks. This approach, while a deviation from traditional norms, aligns with a growing trend in digital distribution and offers benefits for publisher cash flow and development timelines.
