GTA VI

Pretty sure the digital only on release thing is just to stop people playing it early, I bet they'll have a disc version available that releases the day the game comes out

Doubt it they are already struggling aren’t they ? Adding a disc probably cost them 20% or more profits

The profits won't be minimal, though, will they? 

 

I mean - they aren't going to be on a breadline for having a disc version. After 13 odd years isn't GTA V still one of the most profitable games in existence? GTA VI will easily replicate that and beyond.

 

Not having a CD isn't because of profit margins, really, it's exactly as other posters have said. To ensure that future copies are bought from source and not from the 2nd had market and to throttle lending.

Physical box versions will be download codes, no discs

 

Ew

They're allegedly supposed to sell physical copies later on.

Getting an itch to buy a PS5 Pro ahead of this coming out...

 

After Xbox bumped their prices up today I am expecting Sony will as well at some point

 

Although if you were Sony an announcement about no more price rises this year would properly put the boot into Xbox ahead of GTA 6

It's because they will likely release one further down the line to bring in more sales then.

Cynicism is likely the correct response here.

 

It's a big move for RockStar, for sure, and they'll squeeze every single penny.

I'm still on my PS4.

 

This is the longest I've ever held out with buying the 'new' console.

 

Of course normally the price goes down over time, but this has been the opposite.

 

I am also in need of a good 4k TV, so it's going to be a very expensive upgrade when I finally do so.

 

This game is really the main reason I will finally do so.

 

I'm still not even sure which console to get. Used to always be an Xbox guy.

There's talk neither Series X or PS5 Pro will be able to run GTA6 at 60FPS...part of the problem with how long its taken for this game to release, these "next gen" consoles are already outdated....sad!

I'd be pretty pissed off if I spent the bucks and couldn't play the game at 60fps in 2026.
