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



The install for the 3 games I have on disk for my PS5 takes up less space than the digital versions show on the store, and you very much can hear when it’s loading off the disk since the drive is super loud when it’s not just spinning idle. Not to mention the load times are slightly longer.
It could just be the music, tho. The size difference is only a few GB.
As I understand it, game discs spin up to essentially read the disc which serves as a kinda of “key” to let the game launch. Not sure why it would be different install size from downloaded version, unless there’s some patching differences for some reason.
