Rockstar has come under fire for releasing the physical version of GTA 6<\/a> with a download code only, with some saying the decision is the final nail in the coffin for video game discs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While confirming GTA 6 preorders go live at midnight tonight<\/a> as well as the price of the game<\/a>, Rockstar said the physical version of GTA 6 contains a download code inside the box only<\/a>. It will be released starting November 12 to support pre-loading, a week before GTA 6 goes on general sale on November 19.<\/p>\n

Some have declared this a significant moment that marks the death of the video game disc. GTA 6 is expected to be the biggest entertainment launch of all time, selling millions of copies on release. Its truly mainstream appeal means physical is still a significant proposition for GTA 6, as it is for the likes of EA\u2019s sports games and Nintendo exclusives. But Rockstar parent company Take-Two giving the green light to releasing GTA 6 \u2014 the video game to trump them all \u2014 without a disc could prove to be a watershed moment.<\/p>\n

IGN has asked Rockstar for comment on its decision.<\/p>\n
