With GTA 6 digital only, Take-Two boss says discs “don’t really make sense” – “if you’re already connected, who cares if you download digitally?”
Take-Two Interactive chief executive Strauss Zelnick has defended the reported digital-only release of Grand Theft Auto 6, arguing that physical discs no longer make much sense for players who are already connected to the internet. The comments highlight the industry’s continued shift towards digital distribution, which may concern players who prefer physical ownership, resale or collecting.
Zelnick said that if a customer is online, downloading a game digitally should not be a significant issue. GTA 6 is expected to be one of the industry’s largest releases, so its apparent absence from physical media would be a notable signal of how major publishers view the future of game sales.
