GTA 6 Physical Boxes Appear at Stores Ahead of Launch

Physical copies of Grand Theft Auto 6 have begun landing at retailers, according to Polygon. The code-in-box editions are being distributed so stores can meet the November 12 street date, giving fans a first look at the packaging.

An image from a German MediaMarkt store, shared via Instagram, shows the box and a pre-order poster. Per the report, the case artwork features official screenshots of protagonists Jason and Lucia, a description of the game set in Leonida, and notices for online support and in-game purchases.

Polygon notes that digital pre-loads for the game begin next week. Owners of the physical edition will get a code to redeem and download the game, as no disc is included inside the case.

The separate report from Push Square confirms the PS5 version uses the console's standard blue plastic case. With the release set for November 19, the arrival of these boxes makes the long-awaited launch feel imminent.
