In a recent turn of events, widespread rumors circulating across social media and various publications claiming a physical disc copy of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) was imminent have been debunked. An authentic support email from Rockstar, responding to queries regarding a disc version, stated that a "physical copy" would be available in the following months after preorders went live. However, this does not indicate a change in policy or a confirmed disc release. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that the support email did not announce any plans for GTA 6 discs to be printed, neither at launch nor months after. Rockstar's "physical copy" refers to the already-announced version containing only a code within the box. Reports from a Polish website earlier this week suggesting a December release of a disc version also proved to be unfounded. Analysts suggest that Rockstar's decision to forego a disc version is based on commercial reasons, while some retailers are refusing to sell GTA 6 due to the absence of a physical disc. Interestingly, over 70% of respondents in IGN's poll intend to purchase the more expensive Ultimate Edition rather than the Standard Edition.
