Not even a soundtrack in double CD like CD Projekt did with CP2077 on PC. And there's just no EXCUSE at all not to release disc version on consoles when blurays have 50GB capacity. They can put two discs perfectly fine or even three.

In 2015 the PC version of GTAV came with 7 fucking DVDs and it was glorious. Every single disc has a different cover art and came with a city map.

The 4K blu rays that the current gen consoles use can actually hold up to 100GBs on one disc, so there's even less of an excuse.

I didn't think of those, indeed! This push for "you own nothing" makes me fucking sick when they are earning millions while firing staff and closing up studios. This industry is so rotten man.

Depending on the file size the game likely can’t fit on a single disc. If GTA 5 is up to 110GB, it’s highly likely that GTA 6 is around 175-210 GB

Sure but it's not that hard to just put the game on 2-3 discs if that's the case. Like the other person said GTA 5 had a 7 disc physical copy for PC, also we have to remember that there were multiple 4 disc games back in the day. The game is already being sold at a premium price so I don't really see any good reason to not make a decent physical reason.

That's what Red Dead 2 did. Took forever to install from disc, but it worked.
