GTA 5 might have already been released digitally for PS5 and Xbox Series X, but it’s yet to hit physical shelves. That's set to change as the next-gen version of Rockstar’s acclaimed crime-ridden open-world shooter will launch on disc later this month, and pre-orders are now live.
A recent Rockstar blog post confirmed all the important details, so here's the price and release date of GTA 5’s physical PS5 and Xbox Series X edition.
We rated the game’s next-gen port pretty highly, reckoning it was actually worth buying again, even if it is nearly a decade old.
Physical versions of GTA 5 for Xbox Series X and PS5 will release on April 12. You’ll be able to pick a copy up in your local games store or nab one off the web.
The game's disc copy can be pre-ordered now and will cost you $39.99 / £34.99 / about AU$53.50.
Bear in mind, that price is significantly higher than the digital version. Until June 14, Xbox players can grab a downloadable copy for half price at $19.99 / £17.49 / AU$29.97.
Meanwhile, PlayStation players get an even bigger discount with the digital PS5 version of the game only $9.99 / £8.75 / AU$ 14.99 on the PS Store. And if you’ve ever played GTA 5’s multiplayer on PS4, you can claim the PS5 version of GTA Online for free until June 14.
You can purchase the game directly through the Rockstar store, or from selected retailers, including Best Buy.
There don’t appear to be any pre-order bonuses for the physical release of GTA 5 on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Although that might be disappointing, it makes things a lot easier.
When choosing where to buy the game, you can just focus on picking up a copy for the lowest price available, rather than having to factor in a ton of bonus rewards.
