Physical does not mean a disc

Rockstar describes the physical version as a code-in-box product. The code grants the digital download of Grand Theft Auto VI; the box does not include a game disc.

Buyers who want physical packaging can choose the Standard Edition, then purchase the digital Ultimate Edition Upgrade after redeeming the included code if they decide they want the added Ultimate content.
