What the unboxing shows

PCGuide (11 Nov 2026) credits YouTuber @PythonSelkan with an early unboxing of the physical PlayStation 5 edition. The front of the box reads “Game download code. No disc included” next to a PEGI 18 rating.

The disc compartment is still there, and the download code sits in that section. The uploader covered the code in the video. PCGuide says the poster is the main extra in the code-in-box version, and that there is no printed map of GTA 6’s Leonida inside, which it calls a disappointment.

Rockstar said on 10 Nov that players who pre-ordered the code-in-box version can activate their code and start pre-loading as soon as it is received. Pre-loading is about 210 GB, and the game launches on 19 Nov 2026.

Is this real? Reported, but not confirmed by Rockstar yet
