No disc in the box, yet the box is selling. According to VICE, the physical GTA 6 edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X is listed as "currently unavailable" on Amazon, with the message "We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock".
On Amazon, yes, for both platforms, as of VICE's report. Whether the retailer will get more copies before November 19 is unknown. This is a store listing, not a Rockstar statement, and stock numbers are not public. Handle "sold out" with care: it can mean a few thousand boxes or far more.
The format again: the box holds a code to redeem for the download. Rockstar ships it from November 12 to allow pre-loading, but holding it does not let you play before the 19th. We covered retailers' unease in our piece on a Dutch shop's boycott.
VICE notes that qualifying purchases before November 20, 2026 include the Vintage Vice City Pack, and that digital pre-orders add one month of GTA+, redeemable by March 31, 2027 on the PlayStation Store, once per account. Details are in our article on the free GTA+ month. VICE insists: check each retailer's own bonuses, as they do not all apply to the box.

My collector's side: a disc-free box is still a shelf object, like the old Vice City cases. It is shelf pleasure, not a requirement to play. The official price remains €79.99 for Standard.
If you want the box, check several retailers before mid-November. If you only want to play, digital is not affected by this shortage. Still unknown: the volumes actually allocated to each chain.
