Take-Two’s CEO has praised GTA 6 pre-orders as “astonishing,” signaling robust early demand for the upcoming release. The executive addressed the absence of a physical disc version, outlining the company’s reasoning behind the digital-only distribution strategy.
The decision to forgo traditional physical media represents a significant shift for the franchise, which has historically offered disc copies at launch. Take-Two’s move reflects broader industry trends toward digital storefronts, though it marks a notable change for players accustomed to owning physical copies of Grand Theft Auto games.
The strong pre-order performance demonstrates sustained player interest despite the format change. For those counting down to launch, the pre-order momentum suggests the company is confident in GTA 6’s appeal and suggests player expectations remain high for the release.
