GTA 6’s potential move to a digital-only release could accelerate the decline of physical game sales by 2027, according to CI Games CEO Tadas Kazakevičius. He warned that studios relying on physical units earn roughly half as much per sale compared to digital distribution, urging developers to adapt to shifting market trends. While Rockstar Games has not confirmed GTA 6’s release format, the CEO’s remarks highlight growing industry pressure toward digital exclusivity. For players awaiting the Nov 19, 2026 launch, this shift could mean fewer physical copies are produced—or available—catering to collectors and those who prefer tangible media.
