Update (7 Nov 2026): Reported MediaMarkt Germany showed the pre-order poster on Instagram; retailers list it as double-sided. Read more.
Polygon reports Rockstar has sent the code-in-box editions to retailers and shipments have begun to arrive. MediaMarkt in Germany showed the physical edition on its Instagram stories, and an employee shared a close-up of the box, which lists online support and in-game purchases. Polygon notes that “online support” likely refers to features like leaderboards, not GTA Online.
Rockstar’s support site now says “physical editions become available for shipping and pickup from retailers starting on November 12”, per GameRant, and that a disc will not be included.
Is this real? Yes, confirmed by an official source
Who said it: Rockstar support site (via GameRant) and Polygon. Sources: Polygon, GameRant. Our view: the 12 Nov pickup and no-disc points are Rockstar statements; store photos are from retailers. Checked: 7 Nov 2026.
