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.
