Grand Theft Auto VI pre orders go live tomorrow, physical release limited to code in box

The delays may be behind us, but the news isn't all good for Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar have today announced that pre-orders for the game will go live tomorrow, on the 25th of June. Those who pre-order will get the Vintage Vice City Pack, a small throwback to one of their older titles. With the game launching on the 19th of November, fans will be able to start their pre-loads a full week early to ensure there's enough time to get things ready. So what's the bad news here? As you've probably seen from the title, there's no true physical release planned for the game. The retail version will instead feature a code in the box, being available to buy at the same time as pre-loads going live.

Rockstar also announced an Ultimate Edition for the game, throwing in an assortment of "vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action" for those willing to spend big. Barring further delays, the game will be available to play on the 19th of November.

It's e-waste plain and simple. Wasting resources to put a byte onto an entire cartridge. Just don't even bother releasing a GCK at that point. The point of owning physical games on switch 2 is that you can still pop it in the console and get right into playing it. Even if there's an update you can update the game later and hop right in without any waiting just like old days.

I'm holding out hope that the PS6 version is gonna come out on disc!
It's possible and cheaper, too, but for now if people want to play the full game they'll need to buy the $100 edition (or £90 in the UK).
 
Rumor is the case will also include a poster size map of Vice City/ Leonida, along with the game download code. Who knows if true, but still be cool to have, for same price as digital.

Can Rockstar really afford that? It could be too expensive to include with every empty $80/$100 box they publish. 😭

You'd think they'd have released some gameplay footage of GTA VI.

I just hope it looks not necessarily better, but different than GTA V.
