GTA 6 physical copies will be a code-in-a-box, Rockstar Games has confirmed, with them arriving on shelves a week early to allow for pre-loading.
Over on the Rockstar Games website, the studio shares a bunch of pre-order info for the open-world title, including the news that pre-orders will go live at midnight on June 25 and the GTA 6 price, which will cost $79.99, details about the Ultimate Edition (which will run you $99.99), and news of the pre-load. Alongside the pre-loading info, Rockstar revealed that physical copies of the game will be available in stores a week early, on November 12, 2026, to allow users to pre-load the game. Unfortunately, this comes with a major catch, as the description adds, "Physical copies of GTA 6 will contain a code that can be redeemed for the digital download of the game. A disk will not be included in the box."
