# Does GTA 6 come on a disc?

No. The GTA 6 box contains a download code, not a disc. Rockstar Games says the physical version of Grand Theft Auto VI holds a code for the digital download and that a disc will not be included in the box. That applies to both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Ultimate Edition has no physical version.

## What is in the box

Rockstar's support article on editions says the physical version "will contain a download code that can be used for the digital download of the game. A disc will not be included in the box." PlayStation's support page says the same about its "Code-In-Box" version.

According to Rockstar, a physical pre-order contains one code for the digital download of Grand Theft Auto VI and the Vintage Vice City Pack. The month of GTA+ is listed for digital versions only.

Rockstar's Newswire said code-in-box versions for both consoles should be available from retailers beginning November 12, 2026.

## What that means in practice

- **You need an internet connection and free space.** The code starts a full download; Rockstar asks for up to 212 GB. See [How big is GTA 6?](https://gta6confirmed.com/answers/gta-6-download-size/).
- **The code can be used at once.** Rockstar says codes can be used as soon as they are received, so a boxed copy can pre-load like a digital one.
- **Codes are tied to a region on PlayStation.** See [Is GTA 6 region locked?](https://gta6confirmed.com/answers/gta-6-region-lock/).
- **A missing or unreadable code goes back to the shop.** PlayStation's advice is to contact the retailer.

## Is there a physical Ultimate Edition?

No. Rockstar says a physical Ultimate Edition "is not available", but owners of the physical Standard Edition can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade from the PlayStation or Microsoft store after redeeming their code.

## Will a disc version come later?

Nothing has been announced. None of the official pages we read mentions a disc release at a later date.
