The no-disc release for GTA 6 could be hiding a deeper problem and that makes me a bit anxious

GTA 6 may launch without a real disc because Rockstar could still be finishing the game

Grand Theft Auto VI GTA 6 Featured

As a gamer and a games collector, it is frustrating that GTA 6, arguably the most anticipated game of all time, is not getting a proper disc release at launch. The boxed copy will reportedly contain only a download code, which defeats much of the point of buying physical in the first place.

It also does not help that Rockstar has already annoyed some fans by locking certain in-game shops, vehicles, storage locations, and other bonuses behind the more expensive Ultimate Edition. For a game as massive as GTA 6, both decisions feel like the kind of moves players were hoping Rockstar would avoid.

Sony may have just dropped its biggest hint yet that a true PlayStation handheld is on the way. In a recently published Q&A with investors, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino said the company's next-generation PlayStation strategy will deliver a seamless gaming experience that extends "beyond the living room." While he never explicitly mentioned a handheld, the comments have once again fueled speculation that Sony is preparing to return to the portable gaming space with the PS6 generation.

Xbox Game Pass deals are reportedly drying up, and that’s bad news for indies

Ask most players why they subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, and they'll probably mention day-one Xbox exclusives. But developers have long viewed the service differently. For many indie studios, a Game Pass deal wasn't just extra exposure — it was financial security before launch.

Landing a Game Pass deal often meant guaranteed revenue before a game even launched, reducing the financial gamble of releasing an indie title into an increasingly crowded market. Now, that safety net may not be as dependable as it once was.
