Community Reports
The first physical edition of Grand Theft Auto VI has appeared online, prompting laughter and discussions among gamers. According to reports, this edition disappointingly will not include a disc, which has led to mixed reactions from the community. Some users have taken to social media to express their discontent, highlighting the implications of a disc-less physical edition.
One Reddit user, DocikCZ, shared a fan-made creation on the GTA VI subreddit, showcasing a custom PS5 cover for the game. The cover art was accompanied by images and descriptions on the back. However, the most notable aspect was the inside of the box, which was empty, leading to comments like, 'legit just the inside of the ‘physical edition’ of GTA VI at launch,' from user APTAPTAPT69.
Many gamers have expressed concerns about the future of physical media in gaming. With PlayStation planning to cease disc manufacturing by 2028, the trend towards all-digital consoles seems inevitable. This shift has led to significant backlash, with gamers demanding a reconsideration of the direction the industry is heading.
The absence of physical extras, such as maps that were included with previous titles like Grand Theft Auto V, has also been a point of contention. Given that GTA VI is expected to feature a much larger open world, fans are left wondering if any physical edition will offer something worthwhile beyond a code for the game.
Despite the controversy, GTA VI is anticipated to become one of the most successful video games of all time, having already broken records for trailer views and social media engagement. The hype surrounding the game is unprecedented, with fans eagerly awaiting its release.
