In an unprecedented move, gaming giants Video Games Plus and Loot Box Gaming have announced their decision to not stock Grand Theft Auto 6 due to its digital-only release. Rockstar Games confirmed this morning that the highly anticipated title will be disc-free, offering players a boxed copy containing a digital code instead. The physical version is set to hit shelves on November 12th for pre-download ahead of the game's launch on November 19th. Both retailers have cited their commitment to preserving physical media as the reason behind their decision, with Video Games Plus stating that they don't carry products with only digital codes. Loot Box Gaming also echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing their love for gaming and the preservation of media. Meanwhile, major retailers such as GameStop, Amazon, and Best Buy are expected to stock the game in November, while digital stores like Xbox and PlayStation will also offer it. GTA 6 pre-orders have commenced, with prices set at $79.99 for the standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition, which has been met with controversy due to its exclusive access to certain in-game content.
