Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick Won't Rule Out GTA 6 on Disc at Some Point, Insists Decision Had Nothing to Do With Concern

Take-Two Interactive’s CEO Strauss Zelnick has suggested that a physical disc version of GTA 6 could happen eventually, while clarifying that concerns over leaks did not influence the decision to launch digitally. The statement addresses speculation about why Rockstar Games opted for a digital-first release strategy. Zelnick emphasized that the choice was made on its own merits, independent of security considerations regarding the game’s content. The executive left the door open for potential physical releases down the line, though no specific timeline or commitment was provided. This clarification comes as the gaming community continues to discuss distribution methods for major AAA releases.

For players counting down to launch, this suggests the possibility of expanded availability options, though the digital version remains the confirmed starting point.
