Rockstar's GTA 6 Physical Copies Include Download Codes; Sony Boosts Sales Forecast
Rockstar Games will release Grand Theft Auto 6 physical copies containing only a digital download code, requiring up to 212GB of storage and an internet connection for installation. The physical edition ships from November 12, ahead of the November 19 launch. Meanwhile, Sony has raised its gaming sales forecast, partly due to strong software sales and network services, with GTA 6 expected to boost PlayStation performance. Additionally, US PS5 owners can trade in consoles for up to $400 through a Back Market promotion before the game’s release.
