Boxed copies of GTA 6 reach store shelves today, Thursday 12 November. According to Toutes les Box, E.Leclerc lists copies in stores "from 12 November 2026", and Auchan says its boxes arrive the same day. The account RockstarNewsFRA flagged it this morning: "You can pick up your GTA 6 in store right now".
No disc. Toutes les Box states that the box holds "no physical disc, only an official digital activation code". The code starts the download, so it unlocks the pre-load that opened on 10 November. Players need at least 212 GB of free space, as covered in our report on the first unboxings.
The official standard edition price stays at €79.99. Leclerc lists it at €60 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with a "Vintage Vice City" bonus pack. Toutes les Box adds that the retailer's online pre-order was marked out of stock, so the in-store box is the remaining route, subject to each shop's stock. Auchan also lists €60 on PS5, with a €10 voucher sent from 24 November for pre-orders. Carrefour offers a €10 voucher outside its marketplace. Third-party sellers may charge other prices.
We could not confirm trade-in deals at this stage: they depend on each store. See the price page for official pricing.

No. Buying the box now allows pre-loading, not launching. Unlock stays at 19 November, midnight local time, as explained in our release time article.
For players who chose physical, pre-load week really starts today: no need to wait for a parcel or launch day to redeem the code. For retailers, it is a real-world test of a launch where the shelf mostly sells a key. Stock will vary, so call ahead before travelling.
