US EditionRockstar Could Be Trying to Prevent Even More Leaks by Making Grand Theft Auto 6 Completely Digital at Launch, Report Claims
Rockstar Games plans a digital-only launch for Grand Theft Auto 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S to prevent leaks, with physical copies possibly delayed until 2027.
- Polish outlet PPE.pl reports Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive plan a digital-only launch for Grand Theft Auto 6, delaying the physical edition possibly until 2027.
- Faced with leaked footage and alleged internal disclosures, Rockstar Games says it fired employees reportedly over Discord disclosures after multiple leaks and a hacking incident.
- Assuming no further delays, sources say GTA 6 will prioritise PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S at launch, with insider Graczdari, credited by PPE.pl, lending weight to the digital-only claim.
- GTA's commercial weight could boost PlayStation 5 sales and influence Sony's PlayStation 6 timing, fueled by high expectations from GTA 5's success and Take-Two Interactive executives.
- Uncertainty about a boxed release means conflicting reports from PPE.pl on wait times leave physical-copy buyers and retailers without a firm schedule, while other game companies observe leak-prevention tactics amid GTA 6's leak history.
