This week, Rockstar Games addressed growing concerns regarding the release format of Grand Theft Auto VI by clarifying details about its pre-order and availability. While the current pre-order offers only a digital download code, the company confirmed that a physical version of the game will be made available in the near future.
When the pre-order went live, it sparked immediate reactions as customers realized that even the physical edition would not include a traditional game disc; instead, it would only contain a code for digital download. This approach, Rockstar explained, aims to prevent leaks of the highly anticipated title. Nevertheless, this digital-only initial offering triggered significant backlash from the gaming community, concerned about the absence of a tangible product.
Rockstar’s Response and Future Availability
Responding to inquiries, Rockstar Support provided an official statement ensuring that physical copies of GTA 6 will become available “during the following months.” The message emphasized that the current pre-order is strictly for a digital version, but players will have the option to purchase a boxed edition later on. This clarification attempts to ease the apprehension among fans eager to own a physical copy.
Despite the reassurance, the communication left some questions unanswered regarding the exact timing and format of the physical release. As of now, no detailed information has been given beyond the promise that such copies will arrive in the coming months. Fans remain attentive to further announcements as anticipation for the game continues to build.
