New reports from Polish outlet PPE suggest that Take-Two is considering a significant change to the GTA VI launch strategy. According to their source, the publisher plans to delay the physical release of the game to early 2027.
The primary reason cited is security. Physical copies are notoriously difficult to control once shipped to retailers, often resulting in broken street dates and major story spoilers flooding the internet weeks before launch. By prioritizing a digital-only launch on November 19, Take-Two aims to ensure a secure, spoiler-free experience for everyone.
The insider behind this claim has a credible track record, having previously leaked accurate information regarding the Oblivion Remastered project and the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on PlayStation 5.
As of now, there is no official confirmation from Rockstar Games regarding a split release schedule.
