Unboxing videos for the physical edition of GTA VI have begun to appear. Although this version comes in a physical game case with printed cover art, there is no game disc inside. Buyers actually receive a digital download code and a special poster.
A short video posted by YouTube user PythonSelkan showcases the package contents. The included poster is a glossy print featuring an enlarged version of the game's cover art, with the download code tucked inside along with details on bonus content for the Ultimate Edition. The right side of the game case still retains the traditional disc clip, leaving the interior looking rather empty when opened.
The back of the box lists the game's file size, single-player attributes, and PS5 enhancement features, while also mentioning that new multiplayer modes or subsequent content for Grand Theft Auto Online will still be released. GTA VI offers both Standard and Ultimate Editions, distinguishing between digital versions and so-called physical packaging. However, the physical version shown in current videos provides a redemption code rather than a disc for installing or running the game.
Rockstar has not yet provided further details on this release method, and it remains unconfirmed whether a version with an actual disc will be launched in the future. For now, we can only say that this possibility has not been entirely ruled out. The packaging currently revealed mainly consists of a collector's box, a poster, and digital redemption content, lacking traditional physical game media.
