Rockstar said pre‑orders for Grand Theft Auto VI begin on June 25. The $80 title is slated to launch in November. It will be sold as a single‑player game only.
Physical copies will arrive without a disc, requiring a digital download. Analysts say the disc‑less format should not hurt demand. A few fans have expressed disappointment, but the company expects strong sales at the $80 price point. Rockstar said the game will not include multiplayer modes, focusing entirely on one story campaign.
