On Jan 26, 2026 a leak by Graczdari on PPE.pl, claims Take-Two may forgo a physical disc launch for Grand Theft Auto 6 and release the game digitally only at first. The report says a physical edition would follow later, with early 2027 mentioned as a plausible window for discs to arrive. The leak frames the move as an effort to stop early copies from leaking online through retailers.
The timeline for the main release remains uncertain. Other sources have suggested a November 2026 launch, and the coverage notes contradictory information from multiple leakers and the rumor mill, making it difficult to confirm whether the game will meet that date.
Graczdari is described as having a solid track record for accurate leaks, which is why this claim is being taken seriously despite the usual caveats about unverified information. The digital-only idea aligns with publishers’ growing focus on controlling distribution to limit piracy and early spoilers. The report warns that a digital-first launch would likely cause intense server congestion at release. That scenario could leave many players waiting and repeatedly attempting to join online on day one while the publisher scales capacity.
Details remain thin. The leak does not specify exact regional plans, whether special retail editions would follow sooner in some markets, or how long the gap would be between the digital and physical releases. So what do you really think about GTA 6? Will it get delayed even more or what exactly is going to happen? Please let me know in the comments below!
