When 'Grand Theft Auto 6' pre-orders quietly went live worldwide last week, fans rushing to reserve the game for PlayStation and Xbox discovered something jarring: every boxed copy of 'GTA 6' will ship with a download code only, and no physical disc, ahead of the game's 19 November release.
'GTA 6' is arguably the most anticipated game of the decade, with pre-orders opening just days ago and the game due to be delivered to early buyers from 12 November. Traditionally, a boxed copy has meant exactly that, a disc in a case that can be played, lent, or traded in. This time, though, retailers are listing physical editions that contain nothing more than a code, a postcard and some packaging.
