Hollywood Reporter Debunks GTA 6 Disc Release Rumors for December 2026

3 articles · Updated · Eurogamer.net · Jun 27

Summary

  • A source cited by The Hollywood Reporter said Grand Theft Auto 6 still has no planned physical disc release—neither at launch nor in the months after.
  • The clarification followed a Rockstar Support email saying players could acquire a “physical copy during the following months,” which THR said was authentic but misread by fans.
  • The rumor had revived hopes of a December disc edition after the same insider earlier claimed GTA 6 would launch without a physical version.
  • The dispute lands as pre-orders have opened and pricing is out, with backlash already building over reports that any boxed edition may contain only a download code.
