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.

Preorders are set to open at midnight, with no price shock for gamers who had feared an even higher cost.

The decision reflects the industry's shift toward digital distribution and away from physical media.
