On this episode, we discuss the reasons why Grand Theft Auto 6 is a digital-only release, and why that move might actually make sense for Rockstar Games and Take-Two. From manufacturing costs and retail headaches to massive file sizes, day-one patches, and the industry’s continued push toward digital storefronts, there are several reasons why physical copies may no longer be the priority.

It’s not great news for collectors, but the writing has been on the wall for a while. Is GTA 6 the game that finally pushes the industry even harder into an all-digital future?
