- Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently a top seller on the PlayStation Store
- Physical copies are also the best seller of multiple retailers
- That’s despite the controversy surrounding the game’s physical edition, which includes a download code instead of a disc
The physical edition of Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently a top seller at multiple retailers, despite the game’s download code controversy.
As spotted in a ResetEra post, multiple regional versions of the PlayStation Store, including the UK, USA, Japan, and more, have the digital version of GTA 6 listed as the number one best seller right now.
Between the Standard and Ultimate Editions, it appears that the more expensive $99.99 / AU$159.95 / £89.99 Ultimate Edition is the top choice as well.
That’s just the digital version of the game for PS5 consoles, and it’s harder to tell how well Xbox editions are performing.
That said, it looks like physical editions are flying off shelves at multiple retailers, too, with GTA 6 currently holding the number one best-selling spot in the PC & Video Games category at Amazon US and UK, as well as at GameStop.
That’s despite the fact that physical copies don’t come with a disc but rather a digital download code in the box, something that has caused a bit of a stir among the fanbase since it was revealed last week.
However, it appears that even amid controversy, players are willing to spend their money on the most anticipated game of all time.
Rockstar hasn’t revealed why physical copies won’t include a disc, but one reason could be that the studio is trying to minimize the potential for leaks as much as possible ahead of launch.
GTA 6 officially launches on November 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, but pre-loading begin on November 12 if you choose to pre-order.
A recent report suggested that retailers could run out of console stock during the holiday season due to high demand and ongoing issues surrounding hardware component availability.
