GTA 6: Will $80 be the new standard, and will more publishers start to skip physical releases?

Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch at $79.99 for the standard edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition, with physical copies containing only a download code. Analysts discuss whether this price point will become a new industry standard and if publishers will increasingly abandon physical disc releases. While some believe this pricing is justified for a title of GTA 6's caliber, others caution against a widespread shift due to potential consumer backlash.
