Still, doesn't make much sense to wait for disc release for months after the actual launch except for people who want to collect If they force people to buy digital or ask them to wait for months for a disc, most will pick digital because they can’t wait due to FOMO and social pressure. This move is mainly to kill used game market.

Platinum Was such an easy one when compared to returnal. But was seriously such a fun platinum experience!! Now onto photo mode.

Rumour: GTA 6 Will Get a Disc-Based Physical Release After Its Initial Launch Following the news that GTA 6's physical editions will launch without a disc in the box, replaced with a digital download code, rumour has it that this will change later down the line. This comes via Polish site PPE.pl, which has heard from trusted source Graczdari that a physical version of GTA 6 that does include the game on a Blu-ray disc will follow some time after the initial launch on 19th November. "Generally, the release with the code will be one shot, and then the option for a disc release will follow," the source tells the publication (translated via Google). Apparently, this disc-based version will release just weeks after GTA 6's first distribution; it may arrive as soon as December 2026, ahead of the holidays. While we can only label this as a rumour for now, Graczdari is the same source who, in January 2026, said GTA 6 would initially only be available digitally. Obviously the game has a physical presence at launch, but the software itself must be claimed on digital platforms like PlayStation Store. In other words, Graczdari's report turned out to be mostly correct. link

Quick question. Does the Ultimate edition also lock single story player missions or just cosmetics? The description is a bit vague
