GTA 6<\/a> will launch without a Blu-ray disc<\/a>, causing frustration among physical fans.<\/p>\n

Rockstar hasn\u2019t cited a reason for its decision to ship the most anticipated game of the generation as a code in a box, but the likelihood is to avoid leaks, which surely would have happened if retailers broke street dates.<\/p>\n

As a result of that, there were rumours earlier this week that a disc-based copy of GTA 6 could release as early as December<\/a>, meaning patient players would simply need to wait.<\/p>\n

Now The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> has poured cold water on that report, citing a source \u201cwith knowledge of the plans\u201d.<\/p>\n

It claims \u201cthere are no plans for GTA 6 discs to be printed \u2013 not at launch, and not months after\u201d.<\/p>\n

I personally believe a Blu-ray version of the anticipated open world game will happen eventually, but I wouldn\u2019t expect it for a year or more.<\/p>\n

The good news is that any potentially delayed physical release would ship with all of the patches installed, so every cloud has a silver lining, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Has Rockstar\u2019s decision to not print GTA 6 on a disc affected your decision to buy it? Let us know below.<\/p>\n
