GTA 6 Priced at $80, Physical Copy a Code

Rockstar Games confirmed Grand Theft Auto 6 will retail for $80, with a $100 Ultimate Edition, and that physical copies will contain download codes rather than discs.

The announcement triggered backlash from some retailers and fans who decry the move as a blow to physical game preservation.

Pre-orders have opened in the UK, with the standard edition not costing £100.

The wildly anticipated game is expected to be the biggest media launch in history.
