"On February 3, as part of Take-Two's Q3 fiscal results, the company's longtime CEO Strauss Zelnick told Variety bluntly that the online rumors swirling around GTA 6 's physical launch were nothing to worry about. "That's not the plan," Zelnick told the outlet. This odd rumor popped up in January after a Polish site reported that a Rockstar insider had heard that GTA 6′ s physical and digital releases could be split up. Once the rumor popped up in January, it quickly spread and was reported by sites like and was posted across places like Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook."
"However, Kotaku was unable to verify the rumor with any of its sources. And to be honest, it always seemed odd, especially when you consider digital games have leaked via pre-loads. In fact, that happened with GTA V over a decade ago. And now that Zelnick has weighed in officially to call the rumor false, hopefully that's the end of it. Now, fans can go back to figuring out the SPF rating of an NPC's sunscreen via wild math and trailer screenshots. Grand Theft Auto 6 launches November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Take-Two has confirmed that marketing for the game will begin sometime in the summer."
A January Polish report claimed Rockstar would stagger Grand Theft Auto 6’s physical and digital releases to prevent leaks. The claim spread widely across Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and multiple sites. Kotaku could not verify the claim with its sources. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick stated on February 3 that a digital-only or split launch is not the plan. Digital pre-loads have leaked games before, including Grand Theft Auto V over a decade ago, making staggered releases seem unlikely. Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled for November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, with marketing beginning in summer.
