Rockstar said GTA 6 costs $79.99 across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, confirming a $10 jump from the standard $70 we’ve seen this generation. The Ultimate Edition, meanwhile, is $20 more, priced $99.99.

GTA 6 physical copies do not include a disc, Rockstar has confirmed. They’re just a code in a box

    No misunderstanding. My point stands that standard blueray discs on PS4/PS5 as an example do not use quad layer discs, and they’re too small to hold 80GB+ AAA media like most games are nowadays.

    I completely understand the difference between streaming from disc and transferring to hard storage. Both are true at the same time. I haven’t seen a single, large AAA game transfer from disc to SSD this generation. Ever piece of physical AAA games I’ve owned from 2020 onward has had a code built into the box. I also haven’t seen a game stream from disc since late 7th generation.

    If my arguments were all over the place and incoherent I apologize. I’m not good at debates. But to be clear I fully understand the difference.

      All games, AAA or not, for the current gen install from disc onto internal drive. None stream from disc. I don’t know what games you’ve bought from 2020 onwards, but Forbidden West is the only other major release I’m aware of that skipped the disc.

      You said you haven’t seen a game install from disc, but also that you haven’t seen one stream from disc, so I’m genuinely unsure what you’re trying to say anymore. And you’re still wrong about how much data a PS5 disc can hold, which is up to 100GB on a triple (not quad) player ultra blu-ray disc.

      Genuinely friend I think you are misinformed or confused about some things, or I just have no idea what you’re trying to say.

      BTW, two people disagreeing doesn’t need to be a debate. We’re just having a conversation. All is well my friend.
